DC had a fantastic session today, showing real growth in both his design thinking and practical skills. His confidence is shining through as he balances creativity with hands-on construction.
From Design to Construction
DC began by creating a 2D design for the side of his bird feeder. His approach showed both creativity and accuracy, ensuring the design was practical as well as visually appealing. He then moved on to the build, successfully affixing the panels together with care and precision.
Growing Confidence with Tools
A standout moment from today was DC’s use of the power drill. He handled the tool with confidence and accuracy, demonstrating safe and effective technique. This practical competence reflects his growing independence and technical ability.
Reflection on Progress
This was an excellent session for DC. His ability to combine design planning with hands-on construction highlights his steady progress, while his increasing self-belief is helping him take ownership of his work. With each step, DC is building not just a bird feeder, but also his skills and confidence as a maker.
