This article really gives a great idea on how to show students examples from the past to give them ideas for their own creations. Using spinners as the topic and focus of building was also interesting because in years past they have been the big thing to have and fidget with, but most students don't know what the spinners look like in the past just what they look like now. I really like that the idea of building the spinners also came from the idea that it helps students with ADHD and/or autism. This is definitely an engineering plan I'd want to try out on students with sensory or focusing issues and see if they would be able to design one that best helps them in the classroom.
