To introduce and conclude the video, the team also designed an image of an eagle to show ownership of the video. The features of the design of the eagle became more evident to the group through the Modelling with Mathematics process, as students noticed that the wings and body of the eagle were symmetrical. This discovery helped them simplify the work by only indexing a half of the eagle’s co-ordinates.

Figure 9.5 displays the line of symmetry that students identified. At the same time, students listed the colours with the corresponding hexadecimal numbers at the lower right corner of Fig. 9.5 to ease the entry data for this video frame. Students simply entered half the codes for the wings, legs, and blank spaces around it and then copied it. Then, students added data details that varied from the symmetry pattern to complete full eagle image. As a result of student investment through the development of their own ideas of images and expression of who they were as a team, students felt encouraged not only to complete the look of the project in the best way possible, but also to notice and strive for mathematical and computer programming syntactic accuracy, so their project could be what they had envisioned. These aspects became evident in the implementation process.
