Description: Create a list of what to do when you are stuck. We suggest this be created by the youth and educators at the beginning of the making activity. This becomes a living document that can be added to throughout the activity, whether this be a drop-in session, a workshop, or a week-long camp. If a week-long camp, youth can add a dot at the end of the day to note which strategies were used. Use a different color dot each day. See images below.
