1st

Second model will be made out of cardboard. Go over the carboard 101 presentation found in the resources tab [2hr]

2nd

Create a blueprint of your design, a drawing that will help you construct your structure [30min]. You may already have this!

3rd

؜Work together to create a quick scale model prototype. The first prototype will be paper-based [30min]. Look at paper folding link.

؜Take photographs of your prototypes and post them to Seesaw.

Answer the following questions

Q1) Now that you have built it out of cardboard, what would be the best materials and methods for the next prototype?

Q2) You have built and tested one possible shape of your project idea. What other shapes could this sculpture take?

Q3) What do you need to learn to create the next, more developed prototype of this concept?
