Projects:

  • Paper Structures

    • columns supporting a brick

    • free-standing floppy tower (30-50")

    • string and tape tall towers (5'-14')

    • paper & sand columns supporting student

  • Bridge Design

    • free-standing stone arch

    • cardboard beam bridge

    • straw bridges

Our 7th grade class builds increasingly complex structures using a variety of materials. Through many hands-on activities the students are able to solve problems using the Engineering Design Process and apply many collaborative skills used by engineers.
