At the conclusion of the Simple Machines unit, students utilized Flipgrid to create a screencast that illustrated their design journey through the project. These videos covered student reasoning, thinking, decision making throughout the project.
Students created a Google Slides digital "Design Portfolio" to keep track of their thinking, ideas, sketches, 3D models, prototypes, and other important information gathered during the duration of their Simple Machine project.
