In Pitsco’s all-inclusive Design and Build Program, students think and design like real engineers as they explore how shape, structure, and design influence strength and stability. Through hands-on challenges such as constructing straw towers, designing bridges, and building earthquake-resistant structures, learners apply math, physics, and creativity to solve authentic engineering problems. They test materials to failure, calculate ratios, and optimize structures for efficiency and resilience, developing critical-thinking and teamwork skills along the way. Each project connects STEM concepts to real-world design and innovation, inspiring students to understand the built world through experimentation and discovery.
