Help create future engineers! Engage your students in researching, designing and constructing their own bridges!

This fantastic resource guides students through the process of researching, designing, and building their own bridge out of popsicle sticks. Clear and informative instructions are included along with design templates, tips and tricks! I do this project every year when we study forces in Science. My students absolutely love it!

This resource is designed as a Contest (but doesn't have to be done as such) where students are challenged to build the strongest bridge possible. Certificates for Strongest Bridge and Most Innovative Design are included along with a 4 page Student Write-up Booklet.
