This should be an exciting week in our IDEA classes as all of our teams will be creating their second round of Balsa Wood Towers!
It's already obvious that, aesthetically, our second round towers will be huge improvements over round one . . . the benefits of ACTUAL RESEARCH are astounding - students are implementing geometric shapes that are both appealing (due to symmetry, clean lines of sight, etc.) and structurally sound.
Prototyping will be the main order of business early in the week with testing to proceed as the week wears on . . . stop by if you're in the neighborhood to see our Woodstock IDEA students (boy, we need a name for them ..."IDEARS??") moving from concept to creation!
