Participants will learn the science behind hurricanes, then they'll test their knowledge by attempting to build a tower that can resist a simulated hurricane using only basic building materials.
Participants learn about the natural science of hurricanes and how that affects engineering concerns. They will then test their knowledge with a hands-on engineering challenge. Recommended for teens. Registration is recommended.
