Many of our learners have had access to Tinker Time Kits for more than a year. We also have some very tech savvy learners who might need a few extra challenges to engage with the kits.

- You might encourage these learners to share their knowledge with others in the classroom
- Have they earned a TeXpert badge related to the kit? Why not direct them to the TeXpert site and encourage them to earn a level 1, 2 and/or 3 badge?
- Tinker Time kits don't have to stand in isolation they can also be used as responses to learning happening in the classroom for example:
- Creating maps and models of learning and having a robot follow a path through the map, or a person tapping on a particular place in a model to get an explanation of the learning the student has done. You could look at videoing this happening and explaining at each stop what the robot is seeing or scanning QR code that links to another resource the student has created.
