Protect the Payload · Build
Today the design leaves the page. Follow the plan, work safely, and record the changes that real making requires.
Today students will…
Demonstrate
excellent technical skills for the techniques taught so far.
Follow
the creation plan to build a functioning solution.
List
changes made to the design or plan.
Measurements and cuts are controlled enough for the parts to fit.
Joints hold the structure without unnecessary tape.
Tools and workspace routines are followed consistently.
Weak edges, loose joints, or obvious construction problems are corrected.
Find your planning drawing.
Confirm payload + dimensions.
Collect only the approved material kit.
Identify the first build step.
Follow the plan — pause when evidence tells you to change.
Structure
Main form holds its shape.
Payload fit
Payload fits without forced insertion.
Protection
Payload is separated from likely impact points.
Size
Package still fits the challenge limit.
Planned
“Two flat side walls.”
Changed
“Added folded ribs because the side walls bent inward around the payload.”
List the change clearly. You do not need a long justification paragraph during the build.
Pause for two minutes.
Loose joint?
Repair it now.
Payload rubbing?
Adjust spacing or support.
Oversize?
Refine before more material is added.
Plan changed?
Record the change.
Before cleanup, confirm:
