We need your help! The Problem: Our school is growing! Next year we may have 200 new students and need at least one more classroom. What do we do? What do we need? Our principal has queried several architectural firms to help with design. The architects want input from our students. They want to know, from a student perspective: what would a dream addition to our school look like to support learning in the 21st century? What do we need? How many rooms or buildings? What kind? What will they be used for? Where will they go? Which sizes and shapes will make the most useful buildings? Your design must meet the needs of students of the 21st century, using the space available on the Quail Run campus. Your goal is for your team to have the best idea in the class so Mrs. Loflin & the architects choose yours. They'll like the smartest, most useful design!

2) Go to Sketchup tutorial Part 1: Concepts 3) Then watch Sketchup tutorial Part 2: Drawing Shapes
4) Then watch Sketchup tutorial Part 3:Modify/Push Pull 5) Next, watch Sketchup tutorial Part 4: Create a Chair!6) Take some time to practice making two simple Sketchup shapes & save them to this wiki or to your NetDocs if you can7) Go to the Discussion on this page and respond to post: My First Sketchup
