On your mark...get set...DOME!

New project launched. We were asked to form a team of five for the project. It sounds quite hard at first since we had no idea on it.
I have linked the project with what our lecturer, Mr. Wan Burhanuddin taught before, the six elements.

Product - A domestic dome

(1v dome is what we going build)


First day started our meeting for dome. Everyone was so excited about this project. Giving opinions, finding informations, discussing about the dome, these are our activities in the first meeting. We came to the conclusion using wires to make the frame of the dome. And perhaps, timber to support our dome.


It was Friday. We went to the construction site opposite our school to find the timber. Finally, we found six timbers of about 1.7 meter.

This is the base of our dome. Learnt how to tie the bamboo together.Quite satisfied with the shape of the base-star, a big star.This is the first step to SUCCESS!



Tieing the bamboos together and building a five-port. We used so much energy to tie it tightly.


Ta-da~ the frame of our dome. So enourmous and even much more larger than what we expected before.


The night before domesday. We put on the cover on the top of the dome and tried to finish the higher part since during the domesday, we cant climb up to reach the top.
