HOW TO BUILD A HOUSE
<\/em><\/strong>My uncle is building a house and I decided to find out more about the process involved in building a house. I researched architectural design, writing to a local architect, as well as plumbing, joinery and electrical fittings, and elarned how to draw plans. I designed my own house using Google Sketch up and even built a model.<\/p>\n

WHALE AND DOLPHIN MAGAZINE
<\/em><\/strong>I researched potential threats to the habitats of whales and dolphins on the west coast of Scotland, with help from SNH, HWDT and by visiting the Islay Wildlife Centre. I created and edited a magazine and learned how to work to a deadline, and sent copies of my final magazine to the HWBT.<\/p>\n
FOOTBALL COACHING
<\/em><\/strong>I found out how to become an excellent footballer, researching how top footballers learn how to play. I found out how to improve my own skills, then planned a series of coaching sessions to improve the skills of others. I had advice from a coach from the SFA and our active schools co-ordinator to help, and I set up a football skills club in school.<\/p>\n<\/a>ROBBIE
VIDEO GAME DESIGN<\/em><\/strong>
\nI designed and created my own video game using programming skills and the software Kodu. I managed my time, planned my game using storyboards and learned how to deal with problems. At the end I had a full game people got to play and I entered the Kodu cup.<\/p>\n
RELAXATION TECHNIQUES
<\/em><\/strong>I was interested in finding out about different ways that can be used to help people relax when they are stressed. I needed to research how the body works when stressed, and how effective different methods of relaxation are. At the end of my project I created a CD of relaxing sounds recorded on Islay along with a presentation and leaflet.<\/p>\n
