Session 10: “Reflection and Presentation”
Architect:
Syed Shayaan Haider - Markhor3D
Session Overview
In this final session for Grade 6, students will share their projects and reflect on their design journey. They will present their models to the class, explain their design process, discuss challenges they faced, and share what they learned along the way. The session also includes a discussion on ideas for future projects and ways to further improve their skills. This reflective practice helps solidify learning and encourages continuous improvement.
