Welcome back after what I hope was a relaxing, rejuvenating Spring Break!
— Design-and-Build Challenge of the week – Beginning this week, I will share a weekly D&B activity idea. Feel free to use it anytime appropriate in your classroom. If this intrigues you (either as a team or individual), then let’s plan this together. So here’s the first one –
“Design your dream watch/ device” — ‘What sort of apps or features would it have? How would it improve your life, other people’s’ or your surrounding community? Create a prototype of your device using cardboard, drawing your prototype, or anything else you’d like.’ (Idea credit – https://diy.org/)
