What students see

Show what you built. Tell us what you tried first, what did not work, and what you changed.

Why it works

Engineering is mostly failed attempts, and this prompt makes them the interesting part. Hearing what a student changed tells you more than the finished build does.

How to run it

  1. Add it to your Space. The Topic comes with this prompt and these settings, and you can edit both.
  2. Share the Topic link with your students.
  3. Approve posts as they come in. Until then only the person who posted and Space admins can see them.

Make it yours

Record at the start, middle, and end of a project so students can watch their thinking change. In math, use it for a puzzle or a model.
