Party popper prototypes

My company, design builder, made a prototype on the party popper we designed.

First we modelled what we needed for our prototype. For example we used a medium rubber band and a thick rubber band. The medium rubber band was better because it hit the cup harder, and the thicker rubber band hit the cup softer. The most efficient rubber band was the medium rubber band.

Next we put together the parts we were going to use. We had a paper cup but decided to change it to a plastic cup because it was more efficient when using the weight. For weight we used paper because it hit the cup harder.

Last We modeled our fillings we used fuzz balls because it was easier to pick up. If we used confetti it would be hard to pick up and yarn would disintegrate. We used medium fuzz balls because they were small.

I enjoyed designing our prototype because we learnt what prototype means. I would have liked to use a nut and bolt for my weight because it's heavier and hits harder. We think we could make our party popper better if we used stronger weights.
