They realize that the materials they are using for their prototype may not make sense forthe design context, and in realizing this, uproot a rather profound idea: technology is not constantwith respect to time. Rather, technologies evolve to meet societal needs, and societal needs mayspawn technological innovation (Crosscutting Concept 3-5-ETS1-1). The engineers of colonialtimes were confronted with unique and complicated obstacles: to meet the societal need for cleanwater, they could not use paper towel tubes, tape, or tinfoil, but had to procure or develop a filterusing the tools and materials that were available. For the boys, the emerging complexity of thetask prompts further investigation of the problem context, such as the
