This project is recommended for teens age 15.

At age 15, teens often enjoy learning how things work, such as mechanisms and technology. Teens can better commit to longer tasks and are more willing to admit error and try things multiple times. Teens at this age take pleasure in developing skills that express an individual self and emerging adulthood. Now is the perfect time for expressive arts and making! (Yardsticks, Chip Wood).
