Congratulations on finding Knight Times: the digital world of David Knight!
I have just graduated from a BSc Engineering Product Design degree at Middlesex University. The main aim of this website is to display the range of skills I have developed, projects I have completed and share some of my findings through my blog.
I hope you enjoy your visit, please contact me with any comments or opportunities.
I have recently been working in a kids summer camp and came across a game called New Age Kurling. Its basically the same a Curling (Wiki link) however there is no ice needed! The Kurling stones have been designed to be played on a flat floor surface.
The Kurling stone has 3 ball bearings located on the underside that run smoothly along the floor and letting the stone glide. The top handle and actual stone are made up of a flexible rubber that softens and impacts on other stones, walls and feet.
New Age Kurling Stones
All the kids really enjoyed playing the game and some serious competition was displayed all including me! A set of 8 stones (4 red & 4 blue), 2 targets and carry case costs £205. In the right location i think its a good investment that will keep children of all ages and abilities entertained.
The company that manufactures the kit;www.Kurling.co.uk even offers a free demonstration service which is a great opportunity to see and try out the game.
Apparently “Kurling is now played in 47 countries around the world.New Age Kurling falls into all the government guidelines for exercise and bringing sport into schools.”
For more info check out www.whatsthebigidea.ltd.uk that have some great links to Kurling websites and
My final year project OBO training has been displayed at the Product Designers Market and also at New Designers. An agreement has been reached which will take the products to market for 2009. More info here.
