The Judges Committee has awarded this submission Shared Excellence in Architectual Modeling

PROJECT SUMMARY

We made a sustainable business that helps immigrants that go into the U.S. The materials we use will be sustainable, and re-using the houses, we will offer the people until they can find a permanent home will help limit construction. We will use hemp, a powerful plant with which we will make bricks. Doing this will benefit our business and our planet. We will get to use eco-friendly concrete. If we want to limit climate change, we must try to restrict concrete use. A company in Canada has developed a way to make concrete from harmful carbon emissions. We will also power our tiny homes by using solar panels. Our project is a great example of how we can use STEAM to make something great. 

WHY?

We were trying to come up with a business that would be sustainable and have as little impact on the environment as possible. We came up with a business that makes tiny houses for immigrants in the U.S. 

HOW?

We used different materials mostly cardboard in order to make our project possible.  We used math to make the proportions right and then we created a really unique and amazing model. 

WHAT?

Me and my partner realized after completing this project that we were capable of coming up with a business. Not only that but we were successful at making the business sustainable.  

SO WHAT?

Our result means that even 8 graders like ourselves are capable of making a really unique business. This inspired me in to not be afraid to make a business, especially a sustainable one.  

WHAT'S NEXT?

We could have also made a 3d model in order to show our ideas better. This would have been a great idea. 

REFERENCES & ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

We honestly just came up with it. But we did use inspirations from the internet. 

JUDGES FEEDBACK

Well written summary.  You have clearly identified a real problem and have come up with the start of a realistic solution to that problem.  I would have loved to see some of the math you used in proportioning your models.
