Nature Forces and How to Fend Them Off
Students will learn external nature and internal forces acting on the buildings and structures.
Students will be shown live multiple experiments how design engineers fend off external forces.

Beginner Level
This class will teach students about external nature and internal forces and how to protect our buildings from earthquake, winds and gravity forces. Main focus of this class is on practical experiments. Learners will gain knowledge and practical experience on mentioned above topic and will be able to run these experiments on there own at home. After class support with these experiments at home will be provided upon request. I will share power point presentation slides related to forces. We will dive deeper into the nature of the earthquake. How it's generated and how it's measured. Then students will learn the techniques engineers use to protect our buildings and fend off the external forces such as earthquake, winds, gravity. Experiments related to fending off forces techniques will run in front of students. Watching these experiments will help students to gain practical understanding of these techniques. Students will also learn how and where these techniques used in real life in the world. Students encourage to ask questions. This class is interactive and all students will have opportunity to participate.
