We officially got approval today to now be in, and start using the Construction and Design Studio. Take a look at our Twitter account as I posted a picture from this evening about what it currently looks like. I am continuing to work on the space and am using the feedback given from all nine classes to try and design it the way you suggested.
Construction & Design 7A, 7B, & 7C
- Today we worked in groups to try and design and create the tallest freestanding structure possible out of limited supplies.
- From this the students were asked to reflect on the task and to appraise their work and the work of their peers by answering the following questions:
- What was your greatest strength when working on this task?
- What is something you need to work on?
- What worked on your tower? What did not?
- What worked on other groups towers?
- What did you learn from this task?
- The questions to not need to be answered through writing as students have an opportunity to express their learning in many ways.
- Please remember that you will need to have your course outline handed in, and also this reflection completed as your ticket in to class next day.

Construction & Design 9A, 9B, & 9C
- The students were given the challenge to design and create something that either “makes Tom Baines a better place,” or “makes the world a better place.” They worked through the design process and then began creating with limited resources. We were all in varying stages of the challenge with some students just beginning and some almost finished. We will be visiting this next class before we move on to starting to consider our own challenges and projects.
- Please remember that you will need to have your course outline handed in as your ticket in to class next day.
