This study used educational design-based research to develop a nature-inspired, design-by-analogy project and investigate the spatial thinking processes of young, novice designers. 16 pupils from an international school in the Netherlands participated in the five-week design project. Multimodal evidence from classroom recordings and pupils' design works were triangulated to offer insight into the key spatial thinking processes involved in their creation of nature-inspired, analogy-based design prototypes. This dataset includes what was used for qualitative analysis in our article, including (1) all pupils' design-related works from the classroom, which have been photographed and anonymized, and (2) anonymized transcription of videos and audio recordings that captured the classroom learning and designing processes.
