Description
Students can create prototypes to explore design alternatives, test theories, and confirm performance prior to a finalized product. Prototypes are also a concrete way to demonstrate that students have met your objectives.
Example
Students create a prototype of a prosthetic hand, evaluate its effectiveness, and create a second prototype based on their results.
Students can use materials, such as a foam core board, balsa wood, cardstock, wooden dowels, and more. For more information, click here.
