Engineers make changes after testing designs. Describe the most important change you made while testing tall towers. Which idea was your best idea?

(You can earn this badge 1 time, and it’s worth 30 points. You should describe how you used data to make this improvement.)

You can upload a table or graph of your data here. Think about how your data has changed since you started. Do you collect new types of data? Do you think someone else could read your data and know what it means? Engineers use data to show why they make changes. You can collect and use data for all types of designs!

Think about what worked well for getting this data. You can use those strategies again for the next challenge!

Share one more picture of your testing. This final picture should highlight some of the changes you made since your first design. Is the bottom wider? Is your top taller? If so, show how your tower looks and emphasize those changes. We want to see how much problem solving you have been doing!!

By now, we hope you are having fun changing and testing your boat. Keep going forward! If you want to send us more pictures, you can tag us on Facebook, connect on Instagram, or simply upload another picture on this website.

Thanks for working so hard! You are engineering very well. Time for one more data badge.

This is the last time you can earn a Planning Badge, but please don’t let that stop you from making more designs!! You could make designs using different design ideas OR you could add more materials and build an even taller tower! We love to see how far you can push these challenges!

Upload a sketch of your latest design.

We hope it is becoming easy to draw and create these designs. Continue making designs clear and useful!
