Design Thinking Process as a way to plan out and develop new and innovative ways to do and make things.
Using this process, the girls were required to design and make a cardboard car using only recycled materials and without any commercial fixatives.

Their designs were measured on the engineering features used, the aesthetics and the distance the car could travel.
