In the past I had made a 2 player board with my dad and this project brought back that memory. To give it my own special twist, I made the board and pieces all inspired by science as it is a huge part of my life (can you tell I&#8217;m a biochemistry major?). As you can hopefully see below, the board is modeled after Rutherford&#8217;s atomic model, and all of the pieces are modeled after pieces of lab glassware. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-jetpack-image-compare\"><div class=\"juxtapose\" data-mode=\"horizontal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"2122\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/atom-symbol-vector-3712571.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"945\" height=\"968\" class=\"image-compare__image-before\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"2123\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/board-game.svg\" alt=\"\" width=\"304\" height=\"304\" class=\"image-compare__image-after\" \/><\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"726\" height=\"587\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/board-game-pieces.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/board-game-pieces.jpg 726w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/art-in-the-makerspace-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/04\/board-game-pieces-371x300.jpg 371w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 726px) 100vw, 726px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The holes in the board are roughly 11 by 12 mm rounds (roughly a cm), so the pieces were modeled to fit within those holes. The top glassware designs have various heights and widths as they will not have to fit into any part of the board. I&#8217;m hoping to make 9 pieces for each of the 6 designs so that there&#8217;s a possibility for the art piece to be functional as a game board. I will be using the laser cutter for the board and 3d printing the pieces! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the board games I played with my family a lot when I was younger was Chinese Checkers (or Stern-halma).
