“There was a student that would always come in late and very unmotivated. He would not want to participate and it did not seem he enjoyed this class. However, when his group started building the Ultimate 2.0, he rose into action. He took charge in his group and was very engaged. He started coming to class early and ready to tackle the challenge.
