My Students

Who says math and science have to be taught using paper, pencils, and books? My students learn by using their hands, thinking outside of the box, and applying workforce skills. In my Applied Technology class, my students are pushed to use critical thinking and problem solving by project-based learning.

My Project

This project will allow students to draft their own floor plans and create a 3D model of their plan. For the first few days of this lesson, we explore different styles of houses and their origin. Students will pick a style that they like and will use engineering rulers to draft a floor plan to scale on drafting paper. Students will label rooms and square footage and use their draft as a blueprint. For the final weeks of this project, students will construct a 3D model of their house using cardboard and hot glue. This project will introduce students to architectural engineering.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
