Sometimes this was key to the kids ability to complete the tasks.  https://padlet.com/soucym/irq77aasma7y/wish/115159450 2016-06-21 14:39:17 UTC https://padlet.com/soucym/irq77aasma7y/wish/115159450 I set up a "tinkering station" after the module for the kids to explore further. wilsonj23 https://padlet.com/soucym/irq77aasma7y/wish/115159635 2016-06-21 14:41:08 UTC https://padlet.com/soucym/irq77aasma7y/wish/115159635 https://padlet.com/soucym/irq77aasma7y/wish/115159820 We tried to schedule PLTW for short weeks and do it for the whole week.
