For Independent Study, we were assigned to pick our own project and manage our time for the project. I picked a large Balsa House Model, since I had experience from last year with a smaller model in a group project. The project took the whole time frame I was given, which was up until the MITES Competition, and required outside classwork. This project helps me learn about the framing and structure that goes into building, no matter the scale. This page will display my process and my final project.

My project received first place at the MITES Regional Competition and fourth place at the MITES State Competition. I was not able to finish the roof framing in time due to the time frame of being due during the first week in May and the intricacy of the project.
