CLASSWORK
COME TO THE FRONT - we need to look at the new rubrics.
We need your project to be discussed with experts so that you can get feedback.
This is stage 1 - it is NOT "sharing", these people are sources.
We will need more people to "share" with!!
Focus on getting all the requirements of the project. We needs costs.
We need information on current solutions - very important.
It would be a great idea to build a prototype - judges like that.
Focus on ways of persuading the judges that your project fits the topic - this is always a problem,
but this year it may be more important than ever (I'm looking at you, Steamers!).
EVERYONE IN THE TEAM SHOULD BE WORKING!

Opening Activity:
A street that can generate power.
Odd but interesting - making public space interactive.
Tampa firm makes interactive toys for public spaces.
I don't think this will be useful but it's really cool, and definitely improves aublic space. Run it a bit faster, it's long.

Architects design and construct buildings. They combine science and art to make buildings and structures for their clients.
Sometimes they make new buildings and sometimes they redesign old ones.They work as part of a larger team, just like
yours. Structural, civil and environmental engineers make sure a project suits its site. Construction workers like electricians,
plumbers and carpenters, and project managers make sure the job stays on time and within budget. Every role is important
to get the job done.Our cities and towns face big issues, like transportation, accessibility and even natural disasters. How
can we shape a better future for everyone? It will take teamwork and imagination. Are you ready to build a better tomorrow together?
