The story
More than an event — a chance to put science into practice.
Members used a morning meeting to build graham cracker houses, mixing creativity, structure, and chapter community into a short engineering-style challenge.
Why we did it
To strengthen chapter community while giving members a light, hands-on way to practice planning, structure, and iteration before the school day.
What participants did
Students worked with simple materials to build graham cracker houses, balancing creativity with structural stability. The activity encouraged collaboration, quick decisions, and a relaxed chapter atmosphere.
In the room
What the work looked like.
Each activity connected a visible, hands-on task to the scientific thinking behind it.
01
Stability and design
Structure build
Members assembled graham cracker houses and adjusted their designs as materials shifted or structures failed.
02
Creative problem-solving
Team collaboration
Small groups made quick decisions, divided tasks, and helped each other improve their builds.
