High tech hole in 1
10th grade wide project
To begin this project, we took a trip to the mini golf course in Belmont Park. We looked at things that made it fun, and things we can improve on with our own course.
To start building, we made simple blueprints of what we would want our course to be arranged. For the bases of our course, we used large sheets of wood which we then cut into the pieces we needed. As a group we found the square feet of artificial grass required to cover the whole course. After we found the perimeter of the course for the trim pieces we used to keep the ball on the course. |

On the multimedia part, we got into groups of 5 and chose what job we wanted for the rest of the project. We chose to be the Math group, in which we were in charge of finding a way to display the final work, and how to organize the actual math implemented. The Math groups took the responsibility of building the stands that would hold the boards on which the Humanities groups were in charge of.

For the humanities side of the project, we chose any time, event or era in history for our course to represent. My group and I chose the Cuban Revolution and Missile Crisis, because we'd have such a wide range of research from 1960's to present day. In our general topic of the Cuban Revolution, we chose little sub topics to specialize in for our final product. After lots of research and writing we were tasked with finding a way to represent our sup topic in a metaphoric way on the golf course.
- The ramp represented the rising tensions between Cuba, Russia and the USA
- There are three holes on the lifted section; the one in the center is the hole in one hole, the nuclear symbol hole represents WWIII and how close we were to starting it. The blocks around it represents the blockade we place around Cuba to filter the Russian ships entering Cuba. The hole to the right takes you to the bottom section of the course, and it is blocked by the Sierra Maestra Mountain Range, where Fidel Castro placed his original, and current, Head Quarters.
- The three blocks on the bottom section represent the trading embargo which is now becoming more and more lenient due to Obama and Raul Castro having more open meetings and discussions about reopening public relations.
- The Jail guarding the final and winning hole is metaphoric for when Castro ordered the capture of the Cuban exiles that the United States used during the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion.
