Theengineering design problem centered on reducing flooding of the school’s recess field. Thecontext was specifically designed to leverage students’ own experiences with the school’s watersystem as resources to use during the modeling activities. Students engaged in conceptualmodeling of where water goes during rainfall to inform the development of a computationalmodel and their design solutions [42]. This study focuses on a lesson

While the students were able to create the prototype of the chassis of their designusing low-fidelity materials, they were encouraged to design their chassis such that it could be3D printed, and work with the staff at Innovation Commons to create their prototype. Thisproject was ideal for the incorporation of 3D printing technology; the students were alreadylearning computer automated drawing (CAD) within their curriculum, and by adding 3Dprinting, they were able to see the direct application of their CAD programs.
