Morning

• We learned about rib models and and made some sketches for them

• rib models are models made from a series of cross-sections connected by straight pieces of material

• we made a rib model of a half heart shape
• we also made a rib model of a cone
• we made shapes out of hot glue and Q-tips
  

Afternoon

• We made a site model out of cardboard

• We used the glue gun and tape to put it together

• The mentor showed us a prototype of his model and he had made three trees and the sidewalk

• We then used the measurements that we had collected to make our sidewalks

• the trees that we are going to make will be made out of copper wire
