Challenge 6 · Protótipo Comunitário: Documentação Técnica / Community Prototype: Technical Documentation
Document the Week 5-6 community build in rigorous detail. This data validates your design for Week 7 scaling.
Tasks
- Build log: daily entries (date, participants, weather, work completed, observations). Minimum: start and end times, number of people, what was built/tested.
- Layer documentation: photo of each major phase (foundation, every 2-3 wall layers, roof, finishes). Include scale (ruler in photo) and date marker.
- Compaction testing: density measurements (samples taken during each layer). Record depth, moisture content (if testable), and resulting compaction (samples tested at 7 and 14 days).
- Load test results: weights applied, deflection measured, crack observations, max load before failure. Plot results on a graph.
- Lessons learned: 500 words (PT or EN) reflecting on what worked, what was difficult, safety incidents (if any) and how they were handled, and adjustments for the individual builds.
✓ Checkpoint · Entrega · Protótipo Comunitário: Documentação Técnica / Community Prototype: Technical Documentation
Prototype Build Report: daily log (one page summary), photo documentation (20+ photos with captions), compaction/density data table, load test graph and summary, and lessons-learned essay. Include total labor hours, participant count, material costs.
Stretch Goal
Create a short video (5-10 min) documenting the build from start to finish. Show key milestones, interviews with participants, and test results. Share on local media or community network.
