Gingerbread House STEM Challenge

This video transforms gingerbread house building into a STEM challenge by guiding viewers through designing, building, and testing a stable structure. It begins with setting design criteria, such as having four walls and a roof, and suggests making it a competition by assigning points for design elements. The building phase involves using materials like graham crackers and royal icing, while testing includes stability checks using shake tables or fans. The process emphasizes iteration, allowing for improvements. Finally, the video covers decorating the house, ensuring it remains stable, and concludes with the option to eat the creation if materials are edible.

Explain the process of iteration in the context of building a gingerbread house.
