In the final days of ConVal High School’s Summer Boost Program, students presented their completed projects in the Geometry in Construction (GIC) course.
Geometry in Construction was a co-taught class that allowed students to become proficient in both the geometry and construction trades competencies through hands-on activities.
Examples included creating a set of stairs to teach rise and run, constructing balsa wood houses to learn about the importance of correctly following blueprints, ratios, and cost/waste analysis, and the construction of a full-sized dog house.
