I was going to use this as a paraprofessional teaching Maker Space as part of our schools' specials rotation. Students attended my class 2-3 times a week for 27 minutes each time. I only utilized the prompts and did not go in depth with the activities such as designing/planning, etc. as I was not expected to prepare lessons, simply engage students in exploring with different materials in creating non-messy projects. Ultimately, this seemed like too much prep work and I didn't have the support/space to complete this project. It seems very fun and probably doable at my current school if I found myself being in the Engineering teacher's position.
