Session 1 Recap

In session one, Gabe, Jade, and Andrew worked on Link Lab. Link Lab is a simple block building system made to inspire and teach children more about engineering, prototyping, and iteration.

The scale of this project wasn't finalized, but at this point, it was more of a toy then playground equipment. For this reason, we decided to pivot ideas.

Takeaways:

• The kids wanted blocks to be larger
• Kids liked connecting the blocks and making structures
