Context
Structures are used for a wide range of
things in every day life. In this project
you will learn how and why they are used,
and using the knowledge you gain you will
complete a number of tasks using the
methods and techniques used in modern
day construction to develop a range of
structures that will hold set weights
and protect important objects that must
not be damaged.
