Description
In the Balsa Wood Bridge Project, Students will apply principles of engineering and physics to design, construct, and test a truss-style bridge made of balsa wood that can span a defined distance and support weight.🌉
Set in the fictional city of STIIX-Ville, students will address a real-world challenge of connecting two sides of a growing community separated by a river. Through this project, students will explore structural integrity, load distribution, and teamwork while documenting their process and analyzing the performance of their design.🏙️
Be sure to check out the STIIX-Ville app as well, which serves as a very powerful, yet optional, extension to this project!🤳
