Sample questions
A few real prompts from the game to help you choose an activity for your class.
Put the engineering design process in order.
- Define the problem
- Design it and build it
- Gather the information and the ideas
- Test it and improve it
Read the explanation
Understand the problem before you design or test anything.
Put the steps of testing a piece of work in order.
- Decide whether it passed or needs work
- Record the results
- Set the standard for what counts as working
- Try it in earnest
Read the explanation
Set the standard first, or you cannot say whether it passed.

Game teaching guide
What children will practise
Order systematic design and problem-solving processes: the engineering design process, testing a piece of work against criteria set first, solving a household problem, and the stages of a project.
What's in the worksheet
4 rounds, a put-in-order game with 4 steps each - Engineering design: define the problem > gather information and ideas > design and build > test and improve - Testing: set the criteria > try it for real > record results > decide pass or fix - A household problem: observe the symptoms > find the cause > choose a remedy > carry it out and check - A project: frame the question > plan > gather data > conclude and present
How to use it in class
Use before a design task such as a paper bridge or a pen holder. 8 minutes. - Play in teams, then each team uses round 1 to plan its real build - For round 2, teams write their criteria before building, e.g. the bridge must hold 10 coins - If many miss round 2, ask "If we haven't set a standard, how do we know it passed?" - Play it linked to a class and the scores go into the class gradebook.
Common sticking points
- In round 2, putting set the criteria after trying it, since children try first and judge afterwards - In round 1, designing and building before gathering information, out of eagerness to start - In round 3, swapping find the cause and observe the symptoms, which feel close; use a fan that won't spin: first see whether it gets power
