  After planning the remainder of our projection timeline with internal deadlines, we contacted Mr. Scott in hopes of both shadow and consult him about or preliminary schematics for our workout equipment and spikeball court. During the buffer time of actually meeting with Mr. Scott, we designed and calculated the dimensions need to have optimal conditions for our spikeball court, and designed a cylinder with a depth of 3 inches, and anticipate using 9 equally sized planks to encapsulate the sand, and would essentially create a nonagonal cylinder. Details of our schematic are illustrated below: We then calculated the total amount of sand need to fill the void within the nonagonal cylinder, and calculated that we would require 65 cubic feet of sand. Although we have not yet found out yet where we could get the sand, Mr. Scott responded to our email saying that there might be excess sand from the baseball fields that we could use for our project, and resolve the lack of sand source f...

  After brainstorming ideas by creating a jambord and google doc and compiling all of the potential designs/ideas on the various platforms, we began to make preliminary schematics as to what our recreational facilities might look light. We then revisited the outdoor workout equipment at the Metroparks to remeasure the dimensions of the various equipment. In addition to examining the physical structures, we thought that it was important to note the Metroparks calisthenic equipment were likely curated in a way to complement each other to maximize its usage and efficacy for people walking along the trails. As we were are not making a trial with these types of equipment, we had to consider what type of exercises we wanted to implement in our facility, and has yet to be finalized. We then started to draw preliminary diagrams as to what our facility might look like, and elected to use the lawn in front of the senior lot and trophy hallway as potential locations. This prompted us to immed...

  When initially brainstorming ideas with my group members for what we should do for our Hawken Project, we thought that it was really important to create something that would both have a longlasting positive impact on Hawken and something that involved physical construction. As we are in the midst of a pandemic, many of us (ourselves included) can feel especially stressed, and would just like to relieve our minds somehow. Many of us try to play sports with our friends, but cannot due to COVID-19 regulations. Our project will attempt to remedy this yearning to exercise coupled with COVID-19 restriction to create a safe environment for people to exercise, socialize, and relieve stress. In pursuing this project, we hope to learn about the intricacies of what it takes to organize, construct, and design a recreational complex that fulfills the needs of a community. We expect to have a fully formed 3-D design laying out the outdoor recreational facility and the various components. Furth...
