What is Efficient Wood Structure Design Challenge about?

This document describes designing and testing wood structures to teach engineering concepts. Students work in groups to design structures with different sized wood pieces to span 0.9 meters and support at least 23 kg at minimum cost. Their structures are tested by adding weights until failure. This allows comparison of safety, cost and design efficiency. Key concepts covered include factors of safety, stress from different forces, and efficient material use through wise design.
