• I really did enjoy these last two weeks and I have learned a lot about how the building can sometimes be not the easiest.
• Overall I am proud of what my final project was! If I had the chance to continue with this project, I would add and tweak a couple of things. This includes adding wiring and a daylight sensor. And making it so it would have a smoother opening.

Everything went well in class too! :)

I what to have a mobile house that i could take with me and well my house it squeezes and down so in the top you could have more space

• I will make it big
• More background so you can see what you can do
• Add a car to the front you can see what I am doing and what is my idea

For my final project, I designed a collapsible shelter, that can be transported everywhere in the world. It collapses down super small so that multiple can fit into the back of a truck and unfold anywhere.

• If I could continue working on this project, I would try and find a way to make it so that it folds down smaller, with more cardboard.
• It was super fun to do, and I would do it again had the offer came my way.

My idea is an extendable house that you can open and close with a push of a button. If you want a small and cozy space just for you, or if guest come over and you want more space.

• I would go slower and not rush as much
• Not use the hot glue gun as my only alternitive, it was very messy.
• Cut the pieces more efficiently.
• Add some exteirior designs like windows, color, etc.

The Flexible Walls are walls that can be put into a living space that will move around and make it so that you can have more space when desired.
