Our science students put their engineering skills to the test—designing and building houses that could stand up to hurricane-force winds! They brainstormed, designed, built, tested, and made improvements based on their results. There was lots of excitement as the “storms” rolled in! 🌬️⚡️
Hold on to your hats… here comes a hurricane!
