Interactive Truss - Statics Learning Tool

Location

Student Hall for Exploration and Development (SHD/011) - 011-1950 Main Lobby

Our exhibit showcases a truss building kit. The target audience of our project is early college students taking Statics. People can come build their own interactive structure, apply weights to it, and receive visual feedback indicating how much force each member of the structure is under. This tool provides a visual learning tool for students to change weight application and structure shapes and see live, real time force updates on each structure member.
