Structural Design Camp

Structural Design Camp Grades: 6-8 Number of Students: Up to 30 Contact Hours: 12+ Lesson Plan Sample PDF (formally known as Understanding Structures Camp)   Highlights: Get hands-on 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 use the engineering design process as they 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, learners tackle those same STEM challenges as they problem-solve to develop an understanding of the real-world applications of architecture, gaining an appreciation for the structures they see every day.
