Objective: Build a bridge out of nothing but toothpicks and glue!
This STEAM challenge utilizes physics, engineering, math and collaboration skills.
After completing these builds in Ms. Harris' class, the teams tested their designs to see the amount of weight their bridges could hold.
We have another winner!
