STIIX Tower Project

• Grades: 3-8
• Number of Students: 8-24, 15-45
• Hours of Content: 3

Highlights:

Explore Concepts & Careers around TOWERS before building / testing one of your own!

Objective: 

Students will apply principles of structural engineering, stability, and design efficiency to construct a tower with the highest possible slenderness ratio using limited materials. Set in the booming city of STIIX-Ville, students take on the role of structural engineers tasked with proposing a model for a new corporate headquarters.

Through this real-world design challenge, students will explore height-to-width ratios, center of mass, and architectural innovation while documenting their process and evaluating the performance of their structures
