  25. Some questions for you: • Can your setting accommodate a hands-on activity or installation? • Is there a particular theme you want, or need to respond to? What is it? • How can you design the activity to be open-ended, so that each students has a valid, explorative experience, regardless of their ability level? • What resources are required to enable this? • What else is needed to make this happen?

  26. Feedback from discussions • Point 1 • Point 2 • Point 3 • Point 4
