For our last meeting, students had to bring in their favorite novel.  Their challenge was to build something that represents the novel's character, plot, or setting.  There were such a variety of fiction and non-fiction books!

Challenge:  Build a Chair for Mr. Bear!

After looking at various chair designs and discussing the pros and cons of their features, teams were given a stuffed bear.  They had to design a chair for their bear - one where the bear could sit comfortably and not fall out.  The chairs were unique; many had special features such as a TV, remote control, popcorn snacks, etc.
