About This Activity
Can you build a tower strong enough to carry the weight of the world? In this myth-meets-STEM adventure, students will explore the story of Atlas—the Titan condemned to hold up the sky—and use it as inspiration to design and construct their own towering structures. Along the way, they’ll dive into engineering concepts like load-bearing, balance, and structural integrity while reflecting on what it truly means to embody strength. Through hands-on building and thoughtful presentation, students will bring myth to life in a test of both imagination and innovation.
