Today, the Danger Shop was set up for cookie baking! And also a little structural integrity challenge. But mostly cookies!

"Welcome back!" Tony said, very excited to see how the new challenge they had for their class would go. "Today is going to be about earthquakes."

"And gingerbread houses!" Steve added. "But mostly the earthquakes."

They had put so many things on the earthquake platform to make them fall over, you guys. Just. So many things.

"So, your goal today is to build a house of edible materials that will withstand the earthquake simulator," Tony said. "Which is a lot harder than it sounds. Captain Rogers and I tried."

There had been Jello involved. It had been so great. And messy.

"Tony's going to do a quick lecture about gravity and stability and physics of structures," Steve said, "and then you need--with your bots--to build a structure at least three feet tall that doesn't fall over when we rattle it around for a solid minute."

This was going to be a disaster.

Listen to the lecture!

Tony is handwavily giving you all of the information about how buildings stay up! Important to note: most buildings are not made of cookie.

Build!

A three foot tall building made of cookie that needs to taste good and not fall over. Easy!*





*this is in no way easy.

Guillermo had no problem with making the cookie base to build the tower but even with his bots help, he was finding it difficult to keep adding layers to the tower.

It kept ending in a crumbled mess before he even got to try seeing if it would survive an earthquake.

EARTHQUAKE

So, how'd you do? Did it at least taste good?

Talk to Steve and Tony

[heroic_jawline]

Who are compiling a list of other things to put on the earthquake table. Like Roombas. And their dog. And their dog riding a Roomba.

They need a vacation.

The mental images this class gives me fills me with DELIGHT, ya'll.
