Abstract: The objective of this gr 9-12 activity is to provide students the opportunity to experience the process of requirements engineering tasks in a light-hearted manner while working in a team.  In addition to required features, students can learn the importance of adding unneeded features and the importance of managing resources.
Description: This is used with students to help them learn the importance of gathering requirements and in using their resources well in doing so.  This is an unplugged activity that can be conducted, with discussion, in a 50 minute period.  No programming skill is needed, although when introductory students go through this activity, they are learning to program.
