My Project

We are in the midst of a housing crisis! High interest rates, low supply, high demand, high cost of materials...it is nearly impossible to get an affordable house. This is where Tiny Houses can be life-changing!

Tiny Houses communities are saving lives around the world.

My students are learning about the value and need for Tiny Houses everywhere. Whether it is to help low income or homeless individuals, or as a starter home for a new family...a Tiny House can be the start of building your dream life.

This project will allow my students to use more materials than just the school provided pencils and white paper. Giving them these supplies will allow them to add color and creativity as they build their 3d models of their very own Tiny House.
