Connecting the library to the rest of the school

Posted by Susan Willard, SketchUp Engineer

A while ago, I was asked to participate in a SketchUp workshop for 4th, 5th, and 6th graders at my niece's elementary school in Manchester By The Sea, Massachusetts. The students used SketchUp to design a 30 foot x 100 foot addition to their school, with the aim of attaching the library structure to the rest of the building. They could either start from scratch or from a model of the existing structures that their teacher, Mr. Clark, had created. It was really interesting to see what these kids came up with. And I got to be the "cool aunt" for a day!

Here are some of their impressive results:

Carly S, 5th grade

Devon M. and Bailey G, 5th grade

Maya H, 5th grade

Tatum H, 6th grade

Tucker E, 5th grade

Wow. Those are some really amazing designs that the students came up with. And the level of intuitiveness that must have been built in...

Congratulations on a brilliant job to both the kids and the programmers!

Hi Susan,

Thanks for sharing these. I'm always amazed what 10-12 year old kids can come up with - and yes, this shows teh intuitiveness of SU itself as well!
