CAD Model
This is a model of what the end product of the exhibit should look like. I choose blue because it looks the best and is also pretty cool. This actually took a while to construct only because the measurements had to be very accurate. It took a lot of trail and error to learn the sketch and show them in the computer.

Physical Prototype
The Children's Museum of Atlanta wanted our 10th grade class to design indoor or outdoor exhibit that included using STEM as well as teaching the kids in some way. We constructed is prototype out of completely wood and nails. We showed this to our clients from the Children's Museum of Atlanta, it was very heavy but we got it up there.
The Constraints
We has a lot of constraints to complete the exhibit to how the CMA wanted it to be. The exhibit had to be suitable for ages 4-7.
The Constraints are as stated
- the exhibit has to be STEM related
- weather resistant if the exhibit chosen is for outdoor
- able to fit in the given size measurements
- avoid sharp edges
- nothing with electronics and water together
- no glass
- no small objects
- no wood
- nothing pointy at eye level
- nothing than than primary colors
- rounded not sharp edges
- nothing but fun and educational
- nothing but safety
OnShape Tutorials
I have been completing Onshape tutorials for quite some time now and the image to the left shows my progress. I also sand acrylic rods but doing Onshape allows me to learn it and prepare for other assignments.

The Tiny House
day 1
We are creating and finishing the tiny house for our client. It is a fully function house in a come packed space. Tiny houses advocate for small minimal living. Tiny houses come in all shapes and forms but ours is 24' by 8'.

Day 2
Today we taped off the space with the correct dimensions for the cabinets. We also did scale factor to find those dimensions. 2/10/20
TINY HOUSE Day 3
Today I started by measuring the cabinets and recorded the the measurements. Then, I did research on how to install the sink and water heater.
TINY HOUSE DAY 4
I first started on researching the tools and materials need to install the base cabinets. Then I made a sketch with the measurements for the cabinets.
TINY HOUSE DAY 5
Today I by completing the sketch I started on last class. We then had a meeting with the original cabinet designer and got alot of questions answered.
TINY HOUSE DAY 6
Today I began class by finding the right water heater,faucet,and 2 burner stove. Lastly we finished off class by cutting a hole on the left side of the cabinet to the water heater could be accessible.
Tiny House day 7
Today I started the work session by screwing in the piece we cut a hole in last class. Then we measured out and constructed the base for the sink cabinet.
Tiny house day 8
Today started on the cabinet base for the drawer cabinet. We attached it with screws and put it in the tiny house with the other one.
Tiny house day 9
Today we started class by taking the cabinets to the tiny house to make sure they fit. Then the main cabinet didn't fit so I to use the jig saw to make a larger hole for the pipe.
Tiny house day 11
Today I we made a lot of changes. At end of last class we measured the bottom piece L shaped cabinet, but this class started to make a second drawer cabinet instead. The picture you see to the right are the measurements for the second cabinet.
Tiny house 3.13.20
Today, we started on making the final cuts for the empty spaces in the cabinets, as well as the space that holds the water heater for easy access. The picture to left shows the 90% complete cabinets.
