Space Structure

Space Structure:

You can build your very own space structure at your home. All you need is 30 straws, 1 meter of string, and 1 meter of tape. Try to have no flimsy parts as that will hurt your structure. The best way to make your structure is by using triangles as your shape.

Scientific Purpose:

The International Space Station couldn't be built out of flimsy plastic, they had to use something rigid and lightweight. Metal was the best option for the structure. Also, they had to put some thought in to what shape they are going to use as some forms of geometry are better used in different situations. Once this has been thought over, the engineers can start the build phase of the process.
