served to ease the cognitive demands associated with the task, which may, in turn, have
allowed for more creative (i.e., novel and appropriate) solutions to emerge.
The purpose of case study is to produce analytical generalization by using previously
developed theory as a model to compare with the empirical results of the case study (Yin
2009). As such, the results provide meaningful insights that inform broader understandings of
the constructs studied and are not meant to be generalized in the same manner as larger scale
studies. While the small sample size of the study could be viewed as a limitation, the case
study design allowed for an in-depth look at each group, including the differential rates at
which the case study groups proceeded through the Build-A-Buoy Challenge and the various
