Seismic Solutions

  • Friday, Oct 11th, 2024
  • Time: 9am – 3:30pm
  • Ages: 4th – 7th Grade
  • Cost: $95
  • Instructor: Bob
  • Location: Merge Classroom of the Future: 136 S Dubuque Street, Iowa City
No-School Science Day Special! Embark on a seismic journey in earthquake engineering, where students explore the art of crafting resilient structures through hands-on experimentation! Earthquake engineering is the design, development, and production of earthquake resistant structures. Students will explore earthquake-resistant building techniques by designing, building, and testing a structure made of various materials. Using a shake table to simulate an earthquake, we will follow a process of repeated designing, testing, redesigning and retesting a structure with the goal of constructing a building that can survive an earthquake. Come see if you have what it takes to design a Seismic Solution!

Pizza lunch will be provided. Students may bring their own lunch if they prefer.

Early drop (8:15-9) and Late pickup (3:30 – 4:15) available for this class for $15. 

GoldCap staff will meet parents outside of Merge to assist with pick-up and drop-off. Following registration, additional materials will be emailed to gather additional information about each student, and provide specific information about drop-off, pick-up and/or additional logistics as needed.

Thank you for choosing GoldCap!
