My Project

1. Project Overview

Objective: Design and build a dream home within a specified budget using mathematical principles, including geometry (Pythagorean Theorem), budgeting, measurements, and architectural skills.

Outcome: Students will create a detailed blueprint of their home, an itemized budget, and a 3D model or construction of their home using the provided materials.

2. Materials

Pre-approved materials

Budget for supplies (e.g., $1000 of virtual money or something appropriate)

Spreadsheet software (Excel or Google Sheets)

Design software (e.g., SketchUp, TinkerCAD, or simple drawing software)

Rulers, measuring tape, protractors, and other basic tools for measurements

The students involved in the project are high-achieving individuals with a keen interest in fields such as architecture, engineering, and design. These students likely possess a natural aptitude for creative problem-solving, technical thinking, and innovation.
