A Student-Driven Applied Math and Construction Project
In Fall 2023, a team of curious students engaged in the hands-on, fast-paced experience of renovating a basic shed into a usable ceramics studio space.
A mighty task, students went from framing in and adding a window, insulation, electrical, drywall, to installing a cabinet, sink, paint, and trim. In this process, they built collaboration and management skills, while also learning mathematical concepts and building their confidence in the Foundry.
Their collaboration and time management skills were critical in completing each step of building the shed because if one piece wasn't done in time, students couldn't move on to the next piece, and any large delays could have prevented the completion of the shed.
