House Construction

After completing our bridge project we worked in pairs constructing a house. We had to have a roof that could open, at least 2 bedrooms and basic items you would find in a house. The top houses were made by Nganehu, Kimberly, Georgia and Emily.

Term 3 ICT

This term for ICT we have been designing houses as part of the Bubbledome programme.
Part of the brief was to design a futuristic home for a family and their robot.
Each house had to have a home cinema, 4 bedrooms with a plasma tv in each room, and a room for the robot.
