STEP 4 - Build Test. We hit the ground running by giving you an opportunity to start building practical things right in your application. You will build a sample 4x9 foot wall module (we will provide blueprints after your written application step) - the same framing as we use in our house - consisting of five 2x6 pieces of lumber and a sheet of OSB and document your process. We are doing this to document your build effectiveness, quality of the result, your ability to observe and document build details/take video/and collect build data, ability to follow detailed instructions, and ability to identify and source the correct materials. You can use simple hand tools (hammer and saw) or power tools depending on your preference. You will video your build as a time lapse that you will submit for our review. This video in itself provides baseline data points on one’s learning process, and is characteristic of data collection that we perform on a regular basis.
