Materials: Our materials will be popsicle sticks(1 pack?)
Hot glue gun
A pack of hot glue sticks
A piece of umbrella Fabric(To prevent rain coming in the house)

Constructing:
1. We will use the hot glue and the popsicle sticks to build our house design (We will leave a space in the middle for a door for the birds.

2. When we are done with the design, we will glue a piece of umbrella Fabric on the roof, to make sure it's waterproof.

- Would the popsicle sticks survive  any rough weather such as wind and rain?
-How big should the house and the entrance be, It will need to be a convenient size yet ?
-Is the one layer of popsicle sticks enough to hold the birds?
- Will the umbrella on top of the house prevent from the wood from getting rotten?
- how much does a brick weigh?

Firstly, our design meets the clients needs of designing a birdhouse lighter than a brick. Plus, the materials we use are high quality, innovative and unique.

# data[].attributes.body
A 3d printed bird house does exist, however, the designs and structures is different from ours.

It meets the client's need and constraint (build a birdhouse lighter than a brick).

It would help the worker get a bird pet and also it's easy to move around because it's really light.

constructing
1. 3d print the base structure  of the bird house and a graphene bolt.
2. cut the graphene sheet out so it covers the whole bird house.
3. connect the graphene sheet with each other putting on top of the structure using heat.
Installation
1. using the graphene bolt printed in step one,  screw the bird house on the tree.
2. if needed to connect multiple bird house connect the joints .
Uses of multiple bird house
by using 2 , 1 for nesting and the other for feeding ( putting foods in)
Variations
1 transparent
2 translucent
3 opaque

- how can graphene be used in 3D printing technology ?
- in what ways can graphene be used ?
- durability of graphene
- are graphene strong to rain?

Step one, make a sphere with the metal stick part.
Step 2, cover the inside wit fabric.Then staple it.
Step 3, Cover the out side with the nylon taffeta.
Step 4,Put a leaves and plate with foods to make bird inside.
Step 5, Use rope to hang in to tree.
Step 6, make the bird house to not swing around.

It would allow him to make use of his broken umbrellas! The shape and size of the birdhouse would make it easy for him to through up into the trees without breaking, and the clear design would allow him to check on the regularly, and see the progress.

1. Create a hemisphere with wicker, or buy a wicker bowl from a store.
2. Do the same, but with plastic - preferably has around the same circumference as the wicker.
3. Create a long chain of paperclips; long enough for one to be able to reach the birdhouse, but not too long to where it dangles precariously close to the ground/human bodies.
4. Stick the ends of the paperclip chains to the flat side of the plastic dome (any material can be used; glue, tape, nails, as long as it is durable).
5. Stick the dome and wicker together by their flat sides, with the ends of the paperclip chains in between the two (once again, any material can be used as long as it is durable).
6. If you used glue, wait for it to dry properly.
7. Hang it up wherever you think would be fit for a birdhouse. It must be accessible to the birds themselves, so indoors is not ideal unless you have an indoor bird as a pet.
8. Enjoy the birdhouse and the singing of the birds that come to it!

How stretchy is the umbrella material?
How long will the metal parts take before they rust?
Will the metal or fabric parts harm the birds if digested or in contact with?
What size should the hole be for birds to get in, but stay warm aswell?

# data[].attributes.body
To make the bird house, you must have 5 metal sticks, to create a sphere, then twist the ends to secure. Next stretch the nylon taffeta over the sphere and staple where needed. Next we will attach the rope to the top via the wire, and stuff with leaves, food and left over fabric.

# data[].attributes.body
- How durable is wicker?
- How long do paperclips last with weight on them?
- How thin can plastic be without collapsing under rain/snow/possibly hail?
- How can we stick the plastic and wicker together and make it stay?
- How much wind will the wicker and plastic be able to handle?

All in all, we should be researching the durability and strength of our materials to make sure that the birdhouse does not break/collapse at any time.

# data[].attributes.body
Our team is thinking of having a parametric structure as the base to insure that the design will be as strong as possible. The base will be in a spherical shape with a sheet around it and a hollow inside to make a sort of ball. We are thinking of having the ball as an hanging birdhouse rather than on the ground.

- metal stick part
- nylon taffeta

A plastic dome kind of thing, a wicker basket or bowl, a lot of paperclips. Also a place to hang it. Maybe on poles of a cat tower? or something.

# data[].attributes.body
No, it doesn't exist. My friend google said nope.

# data[].attributes.body
The design of the birdhouse would have to be able to hold its own weight, Not fall apart, and have enough space house the actual bird. It has to be able to withstand weather such as rain. It of course has to have a big enough entrance for the bird to get in and out.

# data[].attributes.body
Our design idea for the birdhouse was to make it from wicker, and in the shape of a sphere; the bottom half would be made of wicker and the top half would be a dome of sorts made from hard plastic to protect the birds from rainy weather. We were also thinking of making a chain of paper clips to hang it with.

# data[].attributes.body
We could make a birdhouse using popsicle sticks and glueing them together to make a house structure. We could make a tiny umbrella using sticks and umbrella fabric to protect the birdhouse from rain.

# data[].attributes.body
We would determine our success by whether or not the birds could get in and out of the birdhouse, as well as weigh the birdhouse on a scale to check if it is indeed lighter than a brick.

# data[].attributes.body
We would need to see if the birdhouse is lighter than a brick and it is easy to access for the majority of birds that would use this birdhouse. We should also see if birds come and nest in the birdhouse. We should also test whether it would collapse if there's wind and rain.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a similar design, however, we will use umbrella materials to prevent it from getting wet. We will use (nylon taffeta)

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, it already exists.
There are tutorials on how to build this on youtube, and some websites sell them.

Maybe the construction worker is practicing for something bigger (e.g. getting their close friend/relative a pet bird as a present and making the birdhouse as part of the present as a whole; it must be lighter than a brick so that the person won't drop it and damage something)

# data[].attributes.body
Whether the birds able to get inside and take the food could determine our level of success.
It would have to be easy to through up at the trees by the man.

# data[].attributes.body
This is an easy way to make a nature-theme decoration for the house he's trying to build. It is also an affordable decoration. The reason he wants to make it lighter than a brick is because if he's hanging or placing it somewhere, it could fall and damage the eggs or hurt the bird inside.

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe the construction worker needs to put multiple birdhouses so it doesn't fall over or break. So making it lightweight helps. The use of plastic makes it easily accessible and cheap, allowing the construction worker to kind of "mass produce" the bird houses.

# data[].attributes.body
It's cheap, light, and comfortable for birds! It's also extremely easy to make and requires supplies that can be bought pretty locally.
To mass produce and hang on high trees, it's better to be light.

The construction worker needs this because:
The man is in a wheelchair, he cannot hang the houses up high so he must through them at the trees and hope they hang. For this reason, they must be light and spherical. He also works a low paying  job and sells umbrellas. and cannot get very far to get supplies because of the wheelchair, so he has to use things that are cheap and locally bought. He uses the metal prongs and fabric from the broken umbrellas to create his bird houses.

Where can it be used?
It can be placed in cracks and crevices around your yard, or nestled in grass and inside of holes. You can also attach the rope and hang it from varying heights from trees.
