Construction & Design 7
- Today we went over how we as students can be more responsible and ensure that our forms and assignments are being completed and handed in on time.
- We then began a design thinking challenge that has the students trying to create an object that represents them. The design of the element is up to them though the restrictions are that it cannot be any larger than 8cm x 8cm x 4cm (the object just needs to fit within this dimension) and it must have their name and block on it. They have limited supplies they may use at the school but they may bring other items from home. The initial design stages are as follows:
- Come up with your idea
- Design your idea (sketch / drawing / written)
- Determine the best materials and tools for the job
- Check with Mr. Lang to approve the design
- The students were introduced to variety of hand tools including backsaws, coping saws, and utility knives.

- Students were given times to complete their design challenge from last class which was based around creating a prototype for something that would “make Tom Baines School a better place.” There were many cool ideas and it was awesome to see the students working together and using simple materials and tools to complete this task.
