Back when I was little, you didn’t play music from your phone. People played cassettes, and boom boxes played them loud.
TASK: JUNK MODELLING
People are fed up with small phones with rubbish sound. You’ve been asked to bring the boombox back into fashion. You need to submit a design sheet, with modern tweaks and your best sketching and labelling. Then, make a prototype.
Your recycling may or may not be cancelled for a little while – let’s make some use of the cardboard and yoghurt pots your family are squirrelling away. Find or make a cuboid and try and make one of these boom boxes, or a colour combination of your own!
You could even stick your phone or tablet inside it and get the house party rockin’…
- Find some junk to make your boombox out of.
- Come up with a rough design based on what you’ve collected. What do the buttons do?
- Make it!
- Maybe hide your phone in it securely (with an adult’s permission), hoist it on your shoulder and rock the house.
- Post pictures of your boomboxes on twitter #homeschoolmixtape or email to [email protected]
Maybe use smaller tissue boxes (or similar) to make mini boomboxes!
