LEGO Miss Adventure Projects consists of seven challenges to plan and build ways to survive a ship wreck near a tropical island.  Each student group must complete a journal and a LEGOCAD rendering of their model.  The seven challenges are: #1:  Salvage, #2:  Shelter, #3:  Water,
#4:  Food, #5:  Signal, #6:  Transportation, #7:  Rescue.  Students are also encouraged to draw a picture of their model and explain how it
accomplishes the goals set, and how it aids the ship wrecked islanders to survive until they are rescued.
The stranded islanders work to plan and build a rescue airplane to take them back to civilization.  They were fortunate that among the
salvaged items from the sunken ship was a detailed text on airplane mechanics.  Their adventure would soon be over, but the
experience would leave their lives changed forever.  Not only had they learned new skills, but they had discovered
a revolutionary survival technique:  LEGO teamwork!

Once a plan is decided LEGO elements are chosen to build the model
LEGOCAD will allow the students to build and store a permanent copy of their airplane
