About This Project

My project will consist of making a digital 3D model of Ithaca High School and making a real life mini-model of the school. By the end of the 3rd marking period I hope to have completed the computer model. This will require a lot of time and research of aspects of the school. Finding dimensions and blueprints will be very helpful to me for the model. Once the 3rd marking period ends I hope to move the the Technology Departments laser cutter to make the real life model. By mid June, I hope to complete both tasks fully and detailed.
Aside from the physical goals above, I really want to work on my time management.Throughout this project I will be keeping track of my tasks using Google Calendars. This will help me stay on top of deadlines and ensure my final goal will be completed. 

My interest for the project goes way back to when I was first interested into design and Architecture. When I was really young I would play with Legos, and Lincoln Logs. I would never look at the directions and be creative and do what I wanted. Once I was older I got into Google Earth and SketchUp. I started making 3D models of buildings all around the country. Soon after getting bored with modeling other peoples work I started making models of houses I designed. I have been doing this for many years. I have always wanted to make a model of the school. I actually started one and didn't get far at all. I got rid of it and now I want to do it again. I think that this is a great project for me to do in my WISE class because I have not had much time to do this due to work and school.
