Earthquake-Proof Building

No votes have been submitted yet.

In this hands-on engineering and science project, students will become earthquake engineers tasked with designing and constructing earthquake-proof structures using toothpicks and mini marshmallows. Through research, experimentation, and collaboration, students will apply principles of stability, load-bearing capacity, and structural integrity to create resilient structures capable of withstanding simulated earthquakes.
