Testing & Refining Prototypes – Primary Learners Showcase Resilience and Innovation in PBL

This week’s PBL brought another exciting phase for our primary learners as they transitioned from building their prototype solutions to diligently testing them. After turning their ideas into physical form last week, they’re eager to see how their innovations perform and stand up to real-world challenges.

The testing phase revealed valuable insights, with some teams realizing they needed to tweak their designs and materials to ensure their prototypes function as intended. Learners adapted and improved their models by revisiting their initial concepts, showing resilience and a commitment to finding the best solutions .

Throughout this process, the learners continued to draw inspiration from nature , reinforcing the biomimicry theme as they fine-tuned their designs.

Their ability to apply these principles while making necessary adjustments highlights their growing understanding of how nature can enhance human-made solutions .

By the end of the week, we saw significant progress across many teams, with each group moving closer to a fully functional prototype. Their enthusiasm and dedication have been inspiring, and the hard work they’ve put into refining their projects sets the foundation for even more success in the coming weeks.
