For the first time in the school’s history, Grand Trunk High School in Evansburg ran a high school design studies class this past year.
Students in the program learned about the design process, about modeling in three dimensions, and how to use Google SketchUp to 3D model anything on a computer under the watch of teacher Brett Watt.
During the program, students were tasked with creating all of the game pieces for a board game, how to connect real world dimensions and sizes of pieces with their 3D designed counterparts, and understanding the importance of refining the models.
Officials say students added their own creative touches to each piece to make them more realistic or unique.
Furthermore, the class was tasked with developing floor plans for a house of their own creation, revising them, and then crafting foam-core scale models of their house floor plan designs.
Students also learned about principles of house layout and floor plan design and learned about how to create a livable space for a family.
The program was open to all students in high school.
