End of Unit Project: "SEISMIC SHAKE-UP" {see video intro here}
"At the conclusion of the unit, students collaborate on a hands-on project that brings their learning to life. In the 'Seismic Shakeup' challenge, they embark on a mission to design a building resistant to earthquakes, drawing upon principles of engineering and architecture. They'll grapple with the central question: 'How do structures withstand powerful forces?' Through teamwork and brainstorming, they'll conceptualize and construct their own earthquake-resistant structures.
