Participants will use the engineering process to design their own method, select materials to build, then test to see if the method they chose and materials selected were able to prevent their "beach front property" from washing out to sea. Rangers will serve as the force behind these tides and hurricane forces waves. Will your method slow wave energy? Participants will learn what worked, what improvements are needed, and (time permitting) rebuild and retest.
