Overview:
This app provides students with an alternate interactive way to demonstrate their creative skills. It also allows for students to demonstrate their ability to create and design solutions to problems. Students engage using their imagination, creativity and sensory skills.  Students can save their designs and share with the class.

The app is best used on an ipad but can be used on a computer or on an interactive white board, which can turn this into a whole class activity.
