Some questions for you:
Can your setting accommodate a hands-on activity or installation? Is there a particular theme you want, or need to respond to? What is it? How can you design the activity to be open-ended, so that each students has a valid, explorative experience, regardless of their ability level? What resources are required to enable this? What else is needed to make this happen?
