Assistant Director Maggie Steenburg joined @FLSERT representatives today at the @FIU Wall of Wind for the Wall of Wind Mitigation Challenge. From innovative designs to fast-paced presentations, @MDCPS high school teams put their engineering and problem-solving skills to the test working to reduce wind forces on tall buildings through smarter, more resilient design. Great to see the next generation thinking ahead on wind mitigation and stronger, safer communities. #OurCounty #STEM
