Over the course of five months, we have implemented 4 engineering design challenges. Each challenge was executed in different ways, using different grouping methods, models and styles. We chose each challenge specifically to target different skills and processes. Throughout this time, we experimented with groupings, how to successfully implement challenges and how our challenges was met by other teachers.
