What could you make?

Physical parts you can test, fit, and improve.

• Sensor holderA bracket or cradle that positions a sensor where your evidence says it matters.
• Wheel spacer / alignment aidA small part that changes wheel position or spacing to test a motion hypothesis.
• Plant support clipA clip or guide that responds to growth evidence (lean, breakage, shading).
• Insect observation chamberA small chamber for temporary, humane observation.
• Prototype partAny first-version part that tests an idea from your evidence.

Flat parts: enclosures, ramps, frames, signage blanks.

• Device enclosurePanels that hold components and keep wiring tidy.
• Test rampA repeatable slope or track segment for fair tests.
• Display standA stand for posters, devices, or models you want people to read.
• Model structureA physical model of a system (water flow, bridge, garden bed).
• Modular growing frameSlotted panels that assemble into planters or climbing frames.

Signs, labels, and sticky messages anchored in evidence.

• Data display signA concise visual that carries your main quantitative story.
• Safety labelShort warnings or routes informed by movement or hazard evidence.
• Classification labelField-style labels for specimens, bins, or garden rows.
• Community messageA friendly call-to-action grounded in evidence and audience needs.
• Instruction stickerTiny repeatable steps (“how we run the fair test”).

Sense, log, automate — when your inquiry needs repeatable electronic behaviour.

• Sensor loggerReads a sensor on a steady schedule and stores values.
• Line-following robotA mobile platform that tests control and sensor feedback.
• Temperature alertTriggers when a threshold you measured is crossed.
• Moisture monitorTracks soil moisture to connect watering to growth evidence.
• Simple counterButton or beam counter for events (passes, visits, drops).

Graphs, briefs, dashboards, posters — evidence made legible.

• Graph storyOne chart + captions that explain uncertainty and next questions.
• One-page reportAudience-ready summary with claim, evidence, limits.
• Dashboard mock-upStatic layout showing what you'd track over time.
• Community briefingShort structured talk-track with visuals for a real audience.
• InfographicVisual story mixing icons, numbers, and plain language.
• Scientific posterClassic IMRAD-light layout for class showcase.
