My Senior Ventures project focuses on design and architecture. I decided to focus on this due to a project I completed in 2018 where I designed three different houses based on three levels of income in the Bahamas. Investing time in this project led to a new found passion for Computer Aided Design (CAD). The software I used for this project was challenging, but I knew I wanted to learn how to use other more advanced CAD programs because I am interested in designing houses in the future. During this Senior Venture, I have been learning how to use SketchUp Pro. This specific CAD software is challenging and is used frequently in the business world. I will be able to add more details to the house I design and render my designs to provide more of a realistic look.
I hope you enjoy this video of my latest CAD model of a bedroom where I share the process I go through to create a room.
The Senior Ventures leadership program is a year-long senior project built on a framework of leadership, innovation, and community engagement. The topic and the project design are chosen by an individual student or a pair of students, and the journey is guided by Darlington faculty as well as mentors in the community. Most projects fall into one of the following categories: Investigation, Performance, Entrepreneurship, and Outreach. Candidates are selected according to proposal quality, feasibility, and commitment.
