Estimated Length
2-3 Hour of Programming

Objective: 
Students will apply principles of engineering, fluid dynamics, and systems design to create a functional water delivery system that transports water froma central tower to multiple homes.

Set in the fictional city of STIIX-Ville, this project challenges students to supportan expanding population by designing infrastructure that ensures equitable3.water distribution to new neighborhoods. Throughout the process, students will explore conceptslike gravity-fed flow, pressure, and real-world civil engineering while testing, refining, anddocumenting their designs.

As an extension, students may explore an optional Augmented Reality experience through the STIIX-Ville app, where they can interact with and reflect on careers related to project.️
