Technology Activity during School Closure (First 2 weeks)
This is your assignment during your extended time at home. Please keep in mind that I am aware that we all have different resources to use and that is what will make this assignment unique.
The assignment is to build a bird house or feeder that is made out of materials found in nature or recycled items. You must be resourceful with the materials that you have access to. The bird house / feeder should be big enough for a finch which is a small bird. To receive credit for this assignment you will need to take three pictures during the building process and two when completed with a cell phone. Then email those pictures to your school email address. I will look at them when we return.
Example [email protected] I will be checking these upon your return.
