SLWK8 students in Ms. Boham’s STEM class explored careers in construction by building houses, adding lighting, and 1-point perspective drafting of an interior room. They started by designing a floor plan. They had to find a sq. ft cost for the state they would like to build in. They followed a template to make precise cuts, making walls and roof pieces to assemble their standing structure. Students then added paint and lighting to their 1-point perspective drawing to finish the house. We have many talented builders, designers, and drafters!
