Participant Testimonials

“It’s about having fun and also learning a lot about the practical aspects of construction. Within our faculty we don’t get that much practical experience.”

-J.G., Student Participant, Architectural Science

“Our idea was to make it not look like a box, so we made an octagon, and just for the look of it we made it slope shaped. We don’t know if they’re going to hold out to the specific force they’re going to apply.”

-A.A., Student Participant, Civil Engineering
