If a foundation is too weak, the building may sink or crack over time. That’s why a strong foundation is essential for a strong, long-lasting structure!
In this project created by Isla, a member of the Rosie Innovators STEM program for young women in high school, you’ll explore how different foundations support weight and stability. Ready to test your own designs? Gather your materials and follow the instructions below!
