Our 7th grade STEM students put their engineering skills to the test as they designed and built their own bridges! Students had to think like engineers and consider cost, design, and structural efficiency as they worked to create a bridge that would be both strong and cost-effective.

Now comes the exciting part… TESTING!

The next step is to see just how much weight each bridge can hold. Which design will be the strongest? We can’t wait to find out!
