Paper suspension bridges!

February 5, 2024

✨ Today we explored the world of engineering at the Atherton Library today! Our little engineers showcased their creativity and ingenuity by constructing super-strong suspension bridges using only straws, paper, and string! (with a little help from parents!)

💪 They learnt the tension and compression forces that make the bridge stable and tested this with blocks, toy cars and even thongs to see how much weight each could withstand and what the weak points are.

🛠️ Their imagination knows no bounds, and the results are nothing short of amazing. Well done all!
