Refine Your Design and Create Your Final PSA (1 hour) > Print/View All Notes

In this activity, students will refine their design to respond to their classmates' feedback. Work with groups as they figure out how to refine their design. Encourage them to find creative ways to get their PSA into the public eye. You may also wish to explore Padlet.com opens in new window for sharing PSAs. Padlet is a platform where people can post and share multimedia content on a virtual wall. Make sure they complete page 16 of their Engineering Portfolios, where they refine their designs.
