Challenge/Scenario: An architectural firm in San Francisco is looking for a civil engineer to aid in the design and construction of a state-of-theart, earthquake-resistant skyscraper. In order to be considered for the contract, design a model structure from balsa wood that meets the following criteria.  Each structure will be tested on the EQ3 shake table until failure.

# data[].attributes.body
Draw a sketch of one side of of your balsa tower using the dimensions below

Draw a rectangle that is 50cm X 10.1cm

Draw a line 3mm to the inside of each side of the rectangle.

Evenly space 5 floor plates throughout the structure. (50cm/5=10cm) A floor plate should be evenly spaced every 10 cm from the bottom of the structure.

Choose a braced frame design from the first column and draw it on your sketch in between floor plates.

What :Design and build a tower that has structural strength using a budget and minimal expense.
How: Each team of 3 will try to build a cost effective tower that is  capable of supporting a text book.

The most effective tower will be the one that meets the challenge at the lowest cost per inch.

What: Design and build a 3D shape that has structural strength and stability.

How: Each group of 3 will sketch and build a Cube that can support the weight of a golf ball.

# data[].attributes.body
Challenge: Build a cube that can support a single golf ball.
Cube Defined by each class:

1. Equal members

2. 6 Faces

3. 16 Right angles

4. 3D

5. All sides are the same

Constraints:

The ball cannot sit on top of the cube.

The ball cannot sit on the the bottom of the cube and must be at least 1 inch higher the the bottom of the cube.

The ball cannot be on the outside of the the cube.
