Part 2 - Group Research Presentation:
Compile your research and create a 3 - 5 minute presentation using PowerPoint, Office Mix, Sway or Prezi. If you would like to use another presentation tool, please speak to your teacher for approval. Presentations will be uploaded to student electronic portfolios.
Part 3 - Group Engineering Design Build
Download the graphic organizers for your build and work through the design process. Gather your materials and build. Do not expect it to be perfect the first time. Try different things. Work together to solve the problems. Let your teacher know if you need help from an outside source. Use an iPad or other device to document the build process with photos and videos to a movie making app. Create a short one to two minute movie with narration.
