With your Family account, you can post pictures, videos, and text of your project as you work through the steps of the engineering design process.
Where to Post
First, you need to decide which stage of the engineering design process to post in. Your options are Plan, Build-Test-Redesign, and Reflect.
Once you're ready to post, each part of the engineering design process has a box where you can add text or a photo/video. Then, you can post your progress by clicking Submit.
Below, you can the plan page submission box.
