Chris and Jeff representing BC

Our classmates Chris and Jeff represented Boston College at a gaming competition called Heroes of the Dorm. The tournament was held in California. The show was broadcasted on ESPN. They played infront of a crowd and had announcers, making the competition super entertaining. Chris and Jeff had the opportunity to win money if they won the competition! I am very proud of my classmates for representing BC so well!

Final Project: group old boston statehouse

For this project we build the Old Boston Statehouse as a group.
first we had to destroy our old building


 then we rebuilt the foundation
then we all built the walls back up
the dimensions were 39x12

 I built the roof
 as I built the roof I fixed the sided of the building as well

 Then I helped build the top tower, choosing sandstone to look more realistic.
 then I installed the windows on the roof, there were 5 on each side




 we used sand stone slabs on the top of the windows

 here is a view of the whole thing!
 then  we carpeted the inside



Pictured above is the finished floor!

The following are screen shots of the final product:




This is apart of my Final Project Group State House. It is a final exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics. For details, visit the immersive BC portal at http://immersiveeducation.org/@/bc
