Mockup

Hello there! Do you know what a mockup is? Well, it’s like a pretend version of something that someone is going to make for real.

Let's say you want to build a new toy car. But before you start building it, you want to show it to other people to see how they like it. You can create a mockup of your toy car by drawing or making a model of it with cardboard, clay, or any material you have.

A mockup helps you to see what the final product will look like, and you can make changes to it before building it for real. It can also help other people see what you are trying to create and give you feedback on it.

So, a mockup is like making a pretend version of something you want to make, to help you see what it will look like and make changes before you build it for real. It is a helpful tool in designing and creating something new!
