For nature, in furniture, in mechanical and aerospace systems, and in any solid object that resists a load, together we’ll explore how structures work, why they were designed the way they were designed, how they support loads, and where forces flow through them.
 
You’ll learn through a series of hands-on, inquiry-based activities with easily accessible materials, as well as with online simulation tools. We’ll provide lots of guidance for each activity but also encourage you to be creative and experiment so that you may discover the forms and designs that work best.  

ENROLL before or during this 6-week introductory course.
