As discussed in the prior blog debrief, our final project ultimately consisted of an "LED Tic-Tac-Toe" setup distributed to a couple of places on campus. Users / viewers could play an illuminated variant of tic-tac-toe in fairly quiet areas of campus, marking their progress (and victories, encouraging competition) in a journal that accompanied the setup. While the original location for our project was slated to be the Health & Wellness Center, I didn't have the foresight to consider that it's closed on weekends, so we had to distribute our boards to other locations that would remain open for most of the weekend. Our two final locations for distribution ended up being the small rec room in the campus library, and the Commons section of the cafeteria building with the piano, ping-pong table, etc.
While we didn't have the largest turnouts in the world, both journals had a modicum of actual use, though the number of players total is unknown; the library setup received two or three entries, as did the one in the Commons. And while the entries weren't necessarily done
right, mind you (unless someone was just playing alone for laughs), we did actually get a participation element over the course of the weekend!
