National Skyscraper Day - September 3rd

Did you know that today is National Skyscraper Day?  Who knew that was a holiday?

Skyscrapers are pretty amazing feats of engineering!  The first skyscraper was just 10 stories tall.  It was built in Chicago.  It wouldn't even count as a skyscraper today!  Skyscrapers must be at least 40 stories today in order to be called "skyscrapers".  These massively tall buildings came from the need to build upwards instead of outwards in crowded city areas.

Looking for a STEM challenge to use for this holiday?  Check out my STEM Calendar Challenges for September!
