Disaster Defenders: Engineering for the Extreme

Using engineering design methods, we’re going to try and build disaster-proof structures! How about a building that can withstand an earthquake? St. Louis is surrounded by rivers - let’s try our hands at a flood barrier. You’ll also build a hurricane-resistant home, a seawall barrier to protect from a tsunami, and a landslide-resistant slope. You’ll need all your structural and environmental engineering skills to tackle these tough challenges!
