The only tricky part of using the app is in the continuous online, if the drawing finger is lifted and returned to the screen the image will disappear. Many students chose to practice on paper first.

Some students also chose files already created on the Thingiverse website such as this rowboat and surf board, perfect for accommodating a little lego figure.
Planning with peers, who would provide what became part of the collaborative process.
