Summer Stem Series-July 28, 2026-Earthquake Engineers
This isn’t a sit-and-listen camp — it’s a hands-on experience where kids become scientists and engineers.
About this Event
Led by Jessica Purcell, Pennsylvania certified educator and founder of Thoughtfully Sustainable, Summer STEM Camp Series at Source the Space, is a hands-on science, engineering, and sustainability for rising 2nd-6th graders.
Can you build a skyscraper strong enough to survive an earthquake?
In this exciting engineering challenge, students will put their design skills to the test as they explore what makes buildings tall, strong, and stable.
After experimenting with tower shapes and testing load-bearing designs, students will take on the ultimate challenge: designing and building an earthquake-proof skyscraper. Their structures must reach impressive heights, support weight, and survive a real shake-table test!
With teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving, students will experience what it’s like to be a real structural engineer.
Awards will be given for tallest, strongest, and most creative designs!
Students Will Take Home:
Their tower creations
Engineering journal
Certificates and awards
