Challenge your middle and early high school students with this advanced Avalanche Barrier Engineering STEM activity!Designed for Grades 7–10, this project pushes learners to apply real-world engineering, physics, and Earth science concepts as they design, build, and test their own avalanche protection system. Students explore structural stability, force distribution, impact mitigation, friction, slope dynamics, and energy transfer — all through an engaging winter-themed hands-on challenge. In t
