Our students put their engineering skills to the test with the Keva Plank Tower Challenge.🏗️ Using creativity, problem-solving, and a steady hand, they worked to build the tallest and strongest structures possible. From trial and error to triumphant towers, these young engineers are learning that every great design starts with an idea and a little persistence! 💡✨
