The problem: How can we model the structural integrity of buildings, and determine their strengths and weaknesses?
Why this is important: This is important because it can help to make sure buildings are built with the best possible designs.
Objectives:
• To learn how to code
• To learn how to design a model based on a real-life problem
• To find what building designs are weakest
Plan to solve the problem: We will use Net logo to create a modifiable program that will test different building configurations and find weaknesses. We will throw objects at the buildings (skateboards) in order to test how the buildings react to projectiles.
