I thoroughly enjoy this project in my Big History class. We run two rounds of it. One class period they develop their idea, their wikipedia, and a one slide pitch with an AI photo. The class gives feedback on the project's scientific literacy and then the groups made any needed modifications before they create the models. We have a rule that students cannot spend money. They have to use cardboard, materials from the art department, or repurpose materials at home. One student 3-D printed their project because they like to dunk on it projects. All good.
