StudentChoose a design brief, predict failure modes, test the prototype, then explain tradeoffs and revise against constraints.TeacherLook for constraint reasoning, evidence-backed iteration, failure analysis, and transfer to a new design context.

Materials are columns of measured properties, every process prints its time and cost, and the next version is built from the last test's data. Commit a prediction before every run.
