Channel your inner architect and structural engineer. In Vertex, teams must design and construct a scale house model using only the provided limited materials (such as balsa wood, glue, and strings). After the building phase, each model will be subjected to a 'Load Test' where weights are incrementally added until structural failure occurs. The goal is to achieve the highest 'Strength-to-Weight' ratio, proving that your design is both material-efficient and incredibly stable.
