Our Project

Build a Bridge Activity

Our activity involves students constructing a bridge using the design process and with limited materials. Each student will have the opportunity to test the strength of their bridge using metal washers.

Purpose

To introduce engineering to young students with a hands-on activity and emphasize that anyone can pursue engineering regardless of previous knowledge or skills.
