Tree House Project
This assignment was to make a treehouse that stands on 3 or more legs. This was a Engineering assignment. We had a couple of grades during the building of this to turn in its progress. There were many different variations that students made for this.
I chose this piece of work to include on this list because I had to put physical work into it compared to essays. I liked how this turned out even if it looks simplistic. I got a good grade on this which makes me feel fine putting this on here. I tried to use cheap materials for this to test myself. I used the 21st century skill of Thinking and Problem Solving on this. I needed to fix the cardboard base from breaking on the edges. I reinforced different parts of the house to help with it falling inwards. I know more about global awareness because of looking at types of treehouses around the world. This assignment improved my current growth through being a small assignment. Smaller assignments like this let me improve on the go. I get to try more interesting stands and shapes for these builds. A good example is the base because I would've normally connected the legs with popsicle sticks instead of cardboard in that design. |
Further improvement would be to make the outside of the cardboard legs bigger so that it wouldn't break through. I would cut the item so that they measure better. I would have changed the materials used to connect everything with something that would add a challenge like tape.
