  • Test your invention to make sure it works and to see what you can learn. Keep in mind that your invention likely won’t work perfectly the first time; failure is part of the process. 

    • Some questions for you to think about:

      • What is one thing you like about your prototype?

      • What is one area you can improve about your prototype?

    • Take notes about what works and what doesn’t, so you can make changes in the next version.

REMIX: Update or Improve your Prototype

This is the opportunity to experiment with fixes and improvements.

  • Could adding a new Bit add important features? 

  • Would craft materials make it stronger or give it a new look?
