Building Towers in Tech Design & Innovation Class

Students learned about engineering principles of which they applied to building a tower that must withstand as much compressive strength as possible, while being as light as possible.  After using an efficiency formula, our winning group found that their tower held 3,290 lbs at an efficiency ratio of 567.24 lbs per oz.!!  Thanks to Steve Richards for hooking me up with this project.
