The students in Bob's class (Principles of Engineering Design 2) have been creating 3D layouts of the garden. The example here shows the placement of the rain catchment barrels and the elevated staging barrel where we will most likely attach the plenum with valves for each watering "station". The students were able to use Google's SketchUp to quickly create their representations of the space. They picked it up really quickly, in part because of their experience with AutoCAD Inventor, but also because it is a very easy program to learn and video tutorials are free for download. Thanks Google!
