Engaging Students in Geometry Through 3D Model House Project at Northeastern University

DESCRIPTION

This innovative project empowers students at Everett High School to apply geometric concepts by creating 3D model houses, using materials like Styrofoam or cardboard. Students must design a house with at least three rooms, calculating the perimeter, area, and volume, while showcasing their creativity. Utilizing Autodesk® 3D design software enhances their learning experience, keeping coursework relevant and engaging. The project fosters vital skills such as public speaking, problem-solving, and analytical thinking, alongside a deeper appreciation of STEM principles.

  3. Project: 3D Geo House • Purpose: This project serves students in applying geometric standards to real world application. For many students, it allows them the ability to show case their creativity as they build a project with their own hands. • Requirements: Students are to create with their choice of materials (Styrofoam board, balsa wood, cardboard, etc.) a 3 dimensional geometric house. The design must include to a minimum three rooms. Each room must state the perimeter, area, and volume in its design. Students must state a scale used to convert their model house to a realistic home and convert the perimeter, area, and volume using the new dimensions found in the conversion.

  4. The Challenge • Students at The Everett High School experience the power of 3D with cutting-edge Autodesk® 3D design software. • The biggest teaching challenge I faced is finding ways to keep coursework relevant and engaging for all students. I combated the issue by integrating software included in the Autodesk . • My students were so enthusiastic about designing a model home with the software that many of them spent extra hours working from home. This experience inspired more students than I had ever seen before. It’s definitely a favorite class project in all my five classes.
