Week 1 - A quick design activity to illustrate the importance of class concepts #140

Could be a 30 minute design competition and 15 minute reflection/lecture on how it ties to large scale projects, and how class concepts and activities are helpful.

Design competition could be simple: like a spaghetti/marshmallow tower or toothpick bridge.

I like this. Will think about it more. It is often nice to do something on the first day that helps the students understand what the class is all about.
