When disaster strikes, people need safe and sturdy places to
stay. But what makes a good emergency shelter? It has to be
strong, quick to build, and safe for the people inside. Now it’s
your turn to design one!
With this kit, you’ll plan and build a model emergency shelter,
thinking about protection, comfort, and health. How will you
keep people warm? What materials will you use? Can your
shelter stand up to wind and rain?
It’s time to think like an engineer—let’s build a shelter that
saves lives!
