Casey Design Club: Week 6

Week 6 of Casey Design Club was another success. We worked with a large group of Casey students again, and began to design green roofs, as well as continue with completing their previous community designs. The day started off with informing the Casey kids about our intentions for the remaining weeks in the semester, as well as to get insight on their thoughts and ideas about what we should use the remainder of our time on. After we discussed our intentions, we set out to design both green roofs for building-tops and finish up the communities that some of the students started two weeks ago. The day, overall, went over smooth and was informative, I feel, to both the CU students as well as the Casey students. We were able to gather imaginative ideas from the green roofs that the students designed, as well as offer advice or answer any questions that they had about them. Afterwords, we discussed the possibility of presenting their ideas and designs in a final wrap-up presentation, where the students would be able to stand infront of their works and describe to viewers what their thoughts were behind their designs. This seemed to be something that most of the kids were interested in, and should be interesting to see how it works out over the next couple of weeks. Next week we are going to finish up the green roof desings and conclude the course with the students.
