Imagine your local seaside town is flooding and the beach is being washed into the sea during storms and high tides - what would you do? With climate change, these events will become more frequent, so we need ingenious solutions to help protect our communities.

The wave tank is an interactive model of a coastline where you can experiment with different coastal flood defences to learn about how smart engineering and sustainable nature-based solutions can help.

Try our different combinations of structures and decide what you would build! Don't forget to think about your budget, how much the structures cost, how long they will take to build and how much carbon they use.

Learn how designers and engineers use these ideas in the real world and how you could use your skills to build a rewarding career in this fascinating sector.
