Engineering is a process used to solve problems by designing, building and testing things. An engineer is a person who uses math and science to create new things, solve problems or make things better. A structure is the result of building or constructing something by arranging materials or parts. In engineering, structures are specially designed to be safe and durable. How a structure or building is designed can impact how sturdy and safe it is.
What you will do and learn:
In this activity, you will practice using the engineering process to build a model of a high-rise building out of marshmallows. The goal of this activity is to build the tallest tower you can build that will stay standing on its own.
