A team from the CvEEN Department organized the Towers Event during the 2017 Science Olympiad on Saturday April 15th. The competition attracted more than 30 two-student teams from Utah High Schools and Junior High Schools. The towers were tested under gravity load by pouring sand into a bucket hanging from the top of the tower. The teams were ranked based on the ratio of the load the tower could resist to the tower’s self-weight.
