  3. 1. On your detailed model, what is so fun about it? The height seemed to have been reduced so is the thrill factor still there in your design?
    2. What is the alternative way to get up? From your model, it still looks like a rope netting?
    3. Think you should annotate or write more to explain what you are attempting to do.
    4. What have you learnt from the playground visits that you are incorporating in your designs?
