Last week, we took sometime to learn about Earthquake’s, their cause, and the consequences they have on the surface of the Earth. We put our engineering hats on, with a goal in mind: to design a building that would be able to withstand the effects of a quake.<\/p>\n

Our first steps involved planning out a design on how we wanted our buildings to look. The catch, we only had a budget of $500 and each material cost a portion of that budget, Toothpicks were $5 each, marshmallows were $10.<\/p>\n

After our initial designs, we were tasked with building the first version of our building. We were able to make three changes to our building during the building process.
