Building Teamwork and Bridges as our first Engineering challenge!
Students experienced the engineering process through this hands on building project. We were thinking of ways to rebuild and restructure the Tappanzee Bridge that is currently unstable. With some research and brainstorming possible solutions, the students came up with a design for their prototype bridges. Each were challenged to build a sturdy bridge that could hold up to 50 pennies. The bridge was built with gumdrops and toothpicks. We finally tested it out and evaluated our solutions today! It was so exciting.
