[Bcons2] Project 1 : Understanding Forces in Skeletal Structures

This project requires a group of 7 to build a skeletal tower using only popsicle sticks and different joining medias such as string tying and nailing with no glue. The tower is then subjected to stress by means of putting weights on top of it. Several prototypes of different models were produced to test the effectiveness of joints and designs. At the end of the test an analysis was made of the failures of prototypes and its solutions. 




The popsicle stick tower managed to stood to a weight of 60kg
