This is a simulation, not a quiz. You answer by trying things and watching what happens.

Our question

In Makeshop, can you assemble/position component and explain why failure mode appears?

Getting the simulation ready…

  1. 1Change the design
  2. 2Say what will happen, then test it
  3. 3Finish: say what you found
What counts as evidence
  • Build a Tower: predicted what should change before this action: Pick blocks.
  • Build a Tower: tested the mission by doing: Pick blocks Then Stack them.
  • Build a Tower: explained why this observation matters: Blocks stack visually.
  • Build a Tower: revised the strategy after comparing expected observations with what changed on screen.
