What's included
1 live meeting
40 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
Students will use cardboard to create a "Crooked House" after learning about famous crooked buildings around the world. How does a crooked building stay standing? How long has the Leaning Tower of Pisa been leaning? The 3Dux/ Design Go-Pack will be explained and all pieces and parts will be reviewed. We will be architects assigned to design a crooked house that will not fall over. After designing and creating our crooked house we can paint and decorate it. The one time class format will be both informational and include some studio time for students to begin their project. Students may spend as much time as they would like to finish their project after the class session. Students will need a material kit, which can be used over and over with recycled cardboard. Remember, everyone's creativity takes different time. Most if you won't finish by the time class ends. My role is to help inspire you and then set you free. I'd love for you to share what you have, and when finished, post a picture in the classroom.
Learning Goals
Students will learn the basics of designing and building, gain confidence in their ability to imagine and become more comfortable creating.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
The concept of famous crooked buildings will be viewed, discussed and used for inspiration during this class meeting. I will not be showing, discussing or referencing any controversial works. Sometimes when kids learn about a topic and become interested they want to do their own further research and may come across more graphic drawings or images if they have unchaperoned access to the internet.
Supply List
Students will need the: 3Dux/ Design Go-Pack It can be found here: https://www.3duxdesign.com/products/3duxglobal-student-material-kit These kits can be used over and over to create a variety of projects. Kits can be combined with other 3Dux/design modeling sets to create larger and more complex structures. (The connectors are engineered to fit most single-ply cardboard so if you need more pieces or different shapes, just re-purpose a box!) • Paint or marker to color the crooked house. (optional) • Decorative crafts or items to add to the exterior of the crooked house. (optional)
