@Polelock31 @PLTWDreier @LakeTravisMS @texaspltw We are doing 1 project across all middle school GTT classes in the district. We chose the NASA Design Challenge "Can You Make a Shoebox Fly". The focus is on the design process. The project has been broken down into 3 weekly assigments with a video or picture due at the end.
