|---|---|---|
| Grade 3-5 SCI.ETS1.B.m |
"Tests are often designed to identify failure points or difficulties, which suggest the elements of the design that need to be improved." | Direct application of the CTW "satisfying, not easy" philosophy through mechanical iteration. |
| Middle School SCI.ETS1.C.m |
"Iterative processes involved in an optimal design, which can be achieved such that an optimal design can be achieved." | Perfect for Level 5 "Walking Robot" which requires precise, iterative timing of the cam-and-follower. |
