DESIGNING AND MAKING A TOWER- Our first sort of project. We had to make a tower in groups of 2 using just paper and 2 inches of tape. The tallest tower won.
BUILDING A BRIDGE-Once again we were sent of in groups of 2, this time our assignment was to construct a bridge that could hold a load of one brick.
TECHNICAL LETTERING-With this we learned a really neat way of writing. This type is used by architects when building houses and making floor plans.
OUR HOUSE FLOOR PLANS(2-d modeling)-We were introduced to using a scale for this project. Our assignment was to make a floor plan to a house that was to scale that we would soon after build in 3-d.
3-D HOUSE MODELING-This was where we were to take our 2-d floor plans but instead of using the 1/4 inch scale, we had to use the 1/2 inch scale to make 3-d house models of what we had for our floor plans.
BARCODING-We were somewhat introduced to a bit of barcoding in this assignment. We had to barcode our initials. It's basically a variety of wide and narrow lines put together. Kinda interesting.
