Never-Before-Seen (NBS) Challenges
NBS Challenge is a unique way for students to create a three-dimensional, never-before-seen model based on their thoughts about a particular topic. Each challenge will have different requirements, and students will base their project on the “Needs” and “Don’t Wants” given by the instructor. Another essential component of the challenge is the written reflection that explains the model and how it relates to the content. Students will be evaluated on meeting the requirements, the written reflection, and oral presentation.
