Getting ready for week 3...

We are creating all of our concept boards to be ready to start building.
 
Please bring in any supplies you will want for your builds including small sized cardboard boxes like cereal boxes, kleenex boxes, etc.
 
It'll be a fun creative challenging week ahead!
 
Awesome work so far!

Week 1 in iLab

This week I will be assessing each students skills. They will design a dream treehouse. We will use our creativity in being innovative, thinking of any and all possibilities.  I will also introduce what iLab is about for the quarter and the design thinking process.
 
Ask your kid(s) what treehouse did they design? What was the innovation they added? How do they enter their treehouse? etc.
 
They will also practice presenting their treehouse at the end of the week as an explanation of their concept board or as a commercial. Its a fun way to learn how to start to sell your designs and learn how to be comfortable sharing ideas.
 
I'm excited to see all of their creations!
