The first involves learning about some of the most famous structures in the world.
Students begin the project by researching famous buildings from around the modern or historic world.
Each of these buildings is then drawn to scale. After completing this step, students begin forming companies in order to design and build their own structures. Each company is given a budget from which to purchase building supplies and other items. Once the buildings are completed, they are stress tested to determine their load capacity. From these criteria, an overall winner will be selected.
