Kavi's Boat Challenge

Teddy 🧸 wants to carry three marbles 🔵 across the water pool. "First we draw a plan 📝," hoots Kavi, "then we build 🔨 it, test 🧪 whether it floats and carries the load — and if it sinks, we change one thing 🔧 and test again. That's how real designers work!"

A peek inside

Plan: before building a tower for Teddy, what should Kavi do first?
A good designer draws a plan first and labels the parts, so problems show up before building.
