E6049: Fun Engineering Challenge: Building Skyscrapers in ESPrinkler Summer 2012 (Jul. 08 - Aug. 19, 2012)
Come learn about skyscrapers and then challenge yourself to build one out of spaghetti and masking tape! Skyscrapers rise continuously in the towns today, higher and higher. Have you ever wondered how they are built? Let’s discover together the main design principles of such structures, a little bit of their history and then you will put yourself in the shoes of a structural engineer. You will design and build with your team a spaghetti tower that can withstand an earthquake and then see how much vertical load it can resist! We will test the prototype!
