Class Experience
Students will interact with each other and the teacher during the course of the class via the online message board. Students will be able to participate in discussion questions covering multiple aspects of architecture, as well as give each other feedback on their designs as we progress through the content. During the class students will be introduced to the fundamental elements of home design. Then apply those elements into designing a home a home using Planner5D (a free online program) Sign up for Planner5D with the following link: https://planner5d.com/?prcode=557974 Students will be tasked with calculating the square feet of each room, the entire home, and estimate the total cost of the build in real life. Data can be tracked by hand, but teacher will also demonstrate how to track using a Google Sheet spreadsheet. Students will be designing their home using a free online platform. Content will be distributed in the classroom message board. Instruction will be given via video on a youtube link, content and presentations will also be shared via a viewable link. During the first week, there will be a message on the Outschool classroom to assist in setting "office" hours for the class so that students will have the opportunity to discuss, in real time, the content, issues, problems, designs, etc with both their peers and the teacher.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a certified public school teacher, certified in mathematics and science. I have taught robotics, architecture, coding, and various engineering classes in our middle school for over 10 years.
Architecture was my first love in high school, where I designed two house and one church that were built before I graduated. I love architecture and hope to share that passion with your student
