Building My Own House to Withstand Earthquakes Part 2
by Estormeo Serena
In Part 2, after students have created the blueprint, the floor plan and the budget, they will then create the blueprint using the Tinkercad application. Students must make a house following the blueprint they have. They must be creative and innovative and give their reasons why they chose the house, the design and justify their budget. Once the house design is done, students will present their house project to the judges.
