Students make villages of model houses and buildings to test how different material types are impacted by the huge waves. They further discuss how engineers design buildings to survive tsunamis. Much of this activity setup is the same as for the Mini-Landscape activity in Lesson 4 of the Natur
Chris Schommer-Pries: Dualizability in Low Dimensional Higher Category Theory (Part 1)
