Peter looks for ways for kids to assemble a wooden project that are pitched to the right degree of difficulty so that he does not get swamped with cries for help. The space shuttle was one of these and there was a degree of design variation after the basic wing and body assembly. It was very pleasing for Peter to see most of the students have a go with what they found and make it work. It allowed him to focus on just a few very young ones who sat there wondering how to start. Of further interest was the fact that only about half the kids knew about the existence of the Space Shuttles that supplied the International Space Station for all those years from the mid 80's.
