Structures: Bridge Building & Testing

About This Class

In this exciting, hands-on workshop, young engineers will step into the world of structural design by becoming bridge builders! Over the course of the bootcamp, students will explore real-world engineering principles — like tension, compression, and load distribution — through engaging, kid-friendly activities. Using simple materials, they’ll plan, design, and construct bridges that must stand up to real testing. Along the way, they’ll learn about the strength of different shapes and materials, work collaboratively, and put their creations to the test in a friendly bridge-breaking challenge. It’s a perfect blend of creativity, problem-solving, and STEM learning — with plenty of fun along the way!
