​Supplies:


  • Blocks or you can substitute blocks for any building materials, including recycled craft supplies 

Activity:

  1. Read Princess Elsie Builds a Castle to learn about the engineering design process!
  2. Build your own castle that can withstand strong winds and an earthquake! You can use the next page to walk through the engineering design process - start by asking questions, researching other castle ideas, brainstorming or imagining the possibilities, and then prototyping!
  3. Test your castle in strong winds by flapping a large piece of cardboard near it (just like the dragon in Princess Elsie!).
    Test your castle for earthquake resistance by jumping up and down next to it!
  4. If it falls, try again building a new castle! If it works, you can still experiment with new ways to make a castle!
  5. Share your videos or pictures on social media and tag us @theprincessprogramstem or comment below!
