Very cool Jac. What did John think of the pool?!
Did the students do any refections on the project?
Have a wonderful summer. Dip that paddle and enjoy the silence.

Thanks Jean!!!
I think the pool may be one of those “unfulfilled dreams” 🙂
We totally ran out of time for this project – I should definitely have allocated more time to this. Students informally shared their designs, explaining why they made some choices, their scale, etc. Unfortunately, I did not document those digitally.
My learning from this project:
– bring our guest speakers in much, much earlier and complete the task in parts over the semester
– research different designs to break students out of their mindset that schools are square and linear
– convert the Minecraft designs to be printed on 3D printer as well
– beg our awesome design tech teacher to do an intro/tour of Autodesk Revit
– in general, allocate much, much more time!
– record the final presentations/discussions/reflections
I wasn’t expecting to get so much valuable information and so many neat tools from our guest speakers – the project kind of grew beyond my original plans.
It looks like I may end up with a MPM1D next year, so perhaps I can adapt the task to suit next years students too!
Thanks again and paddle on! 🙂
Could be the course!
