Passion Project

Recently, we are working on our passion project every Friday at Language Arts class; apparently, passion project is to do something your passions are. Joey and I are in a group, we just finished our proposal this Friday. The product we plan to produce is a human size cardboard Hogwarts castle with Lego classrooms inside, so we can actually go into the castle and look at the classrooms. We got the idea from the Harry Potter series I am reading recently, I was thinking why not make the scenes in the book real. At first we just thought of making a Hogwarts model, but then we thought it was not creative enough since a lot people in the world have already done it; then we thought of making it big enough so we can go inside, but it would be a huge amount of work to make a real size Hogwarts and would also cost a lots of money; so as a result, we decided to make a human size castle with little classrooms inside, this plan combined all the advantages, it’s not too hard to make and also has the atmosphere. However, we still have some unsolved problems: the first one is we need to find a place for the castle to stay, it needs to be big enough and inside the building to prevent the rain; the second one is a problem which we need to research, we need to know the proportion of the castle and the details of the classroom. For this project, we might want help from Mr. Davidson about the design. In order to be success, it needs to stand properly instead of falling over and one person needs to be able to fit through the door and the hall.

It would be a quite excited project to do and I wish we can complete it successfully.
