Students measured out the parameters for building a Bergisel Ski Jump model out of cans based on a Google Sketchup design. They discovered changes were needed, including making the ramp slope more gradual by adding additional cans to each level. Students then began construction by putting together the 5x5 can base for the pylon tower, adding plywood supports after two levels. Pylons and extra plywood were added underneath the ski jump for additional structural support while maintaining the original curved design.
