Students in Mr. Meyer and Mrs. Lewis' 4th period STEM class have been working on the design elements of bridges. Students started the quarter by building bridges out of paper and glue. Designs progressed to popcicle sticks and truss bridges. The final project was a toothpick bridge that students created. Below is the winning design created by Krislyn Martain and Kenadi Smith. The two used an arch bridge design supported by square-based support towers. The group's bridge held all 20 of our spring scale weights which comes out to a little over 10.5lbs!
