Christmas tree made from hard drive parts – shiny!
At our work we were decomissioning lots of old servers, they each had raid arrays made from lots of old hard drives. Instead of formatting every hard drive (would have taken weeks performing a DoD level wipe) and disposing them all together with the servers, I decided to disassemble the hard drives and recycle them into something neat. With a lot of patience, I made this shiny xmas tree 
In total there are around 60-70 old SCSI hard drives, between 9gb and 18gb in size each. The tree ‘branches’ are made up of 189 platters, the middle column has around 60 platters. They still contain super secret confidential company data! Working on it every day after work, it took about 3½ weeks. It was made with limited tools (pliers and screwdrivers mostly), and it is all glued together with epoxy glue. It was gifted it to my girlfriend to use instead a plain ol’ non-shiny xmas tree. Make sure you ‘watch in high quality’ for optimum shiny-ness!

It might inspire them to start asking questions about the games they play… what are the rules, how to win, why is the game good? These are questions that will get them thinking about the game as opposed to just consuming the game. * concept of bird’s eye view * challenge of mouse and 3D environments * making maze interesting (it’s not easy) * importance of planning * importance of saving work * get students to write up notes on what was hard/easy about using/creating the game pros * easy to use * clever * kids will like it cons * no drawing tools (squares, circles, etc. It would be nice to have vector draw tools) * crashes * can’t copy layers * doors have problem rendering (artifacts in the UI) * can’t select multiple items and copy them to other parts of the maze * too much clicking * no full screen in game play * no in game chat… if you …
