SLC PRO: Architecture: Urban Engineering (For Grades 6-8)
This is a two-day program that takes place on July 27 & 28. One ticket per attendee covers both days.
Class Details
How do you design a structure that can withstand the forces of nature? Get an "urban edge" in this high-stakes look at the cities of the future. Students will move beyond simple building to tackle the physics of vertical growth and structural survival. Analyze how skyscrapers handle wind loads, design earthquake-resistant foundations, and explore the logistics of high-density city planning. Using professional design principles, you'll build models that prove your structures can hold up under real-world pressure!
