Get creativity flowing as students don their hard hats to learn the complexities of designing structures! From integrating mechanics into construction to investigating the impacts of external forces, learners move through advanced building and blueprinting exercises. With new buildings reaching higher into the sky, architects and engineers are constantly working through questions of structure and style.

In Structural Design Camp, participants tackle those same challenges as they team up to develop an understanding of the real-world applications of architecture, gaining an appreciation for the structures they see every day!

          Next Generation Science Standards*

          MS-ETS1-1 Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions.

          MS-ETS1-2 Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.

          MS-ETS1-3 Analyze data from tests to determine similarities and differences among several design solutions to identify the best characteristics of each that can be combined into a new solution to better meet the criteria for success.
