Project <br /> Playscape,is a STEAM project challenging students to integrate science,technology, <br /> engineering,art and math to design kid-friendly play structures with innovative design. <br /> There are four stages in Project Playscape: a workshop,idea generating,building a <br /> prototype model,and a critique. Shaan Hassan (a local architect in Chapel Hill) and Rachel <br /> Cotter(a local landscape designer) will facilitate a one day design workshop for 3rd grade <br /> students at Northside Elementary, introducing them to the design process that professional <br /> designers use to develop an idea.The next week,students will divide themselves into <br /> collaborative groups to write and sketch out multiple ideas for their playscape designs. <br /> Each team will be given constrains such as area measurements and the need to include <br /> kinetics. Groups will determine the age group and design play structures appropriate for <br /> that group.After accumulating a portfolio of ideas,collaborative groups will use a range of <br /> materials to build their models. Classes will offer feedback and critique to the playscape <br /> designs as a reflection of process and outcome. Mr. Hassan and Ms.Cotter will be invited <br /> back to participate in the critiques. <br /> Project Costs: <br /> Item: Quantity: Total Cost: Supplier: <br /> Visiting Designers 2 ($50 each) $100 <br /> Recycled Building Materials: 2 bags $50 The Scrap <br /> Wood scraps,plastic pieces,netting, Exchange <br /> tagboard,dowels <br /> Adhesives:hot glue sticks,tape,brads, Hot Glue,2pks(@$10.45) $65.35 Walmart <br /> toothpicks Tape,4 rolls(@$6.70) <br /> Brads,3pks(@$5.11) <br /> Toothpicks,1pk(@$2.32) <br /> Project cost before tax $215.27 <br /> Taxes(7.5%) (without visiting designer $8.64 <br /> payment) <br /> Total Project Cost $223.91 <br /> Total Amount Requested: $112, to be matched by Northside PTA <br />
