Crossing America Goes to San Juan National Historic Site
Students join Ranger friends to explore the massive stone walls and forts that protected Puerto Rico for centuries.
We investigate how San Juan was shaped by its island identity, its history of defense, and its cultural resilience. Together, we explore how communities balance heritage, conservation, and the environment in a place surrounded by the sea.
Engineering Design Challenge: Students design and build a coastal defense structure that can protect a model shoreline from waves and erosion. They must decide on placement, shape, and materials to provide the strongest protection.
