Description :
The “Switches” team cleverly conceptualized and built a house machete symbolizing an energy-efficient house. Their design might playfully incorporate elements representing control and smart technology that contribute to energy savings and efficient resource management.
Creative thinking, “Switches”! Your unique interpretation of an energy-efficient house through a house machete is truly engaging. You’ve found a fun and memorable way to highlight the importance of smart energy use. Fantastic!
Our class consists of 24 5th grade students, 13 of whom are boys and 11 are girls. We all worked together on a common project on the topic of Energy. We were divided into groups and built models of an energy-efficient building. After completing the project, we all presented our models, having received specific criteria, at an open event in the presence of parents/guardians and a jury of teachers. It was decided that the most complete model is the one of which we are sending you the video.
Initially, we had to gather all the materials for our model, and although there were some delays, we finally managed to do it. We believe that during this particular project we collaborated quite well, although there were sometimes disagreements. The ideas of all team members were heard and we took into account as many as we could. We managed to stick to the timeline given to us and worked collaboratively and focused to reach the final result.
