Our project idea was to make a bridge. We decided that a bridge alone wouldn't be enough, so we decided to make a website explaining our bridges physics as well as pictures and information on our bridge type. We decided for a challenge we would make a bridge spanning a gap of 18 inches, which is a big step up from what we have done this year. We also wanted to use a wood material like toothpicks, but we wanted a biger material. So we decided to use popsicle sticks and glue. Overall our idea is to make a a brige that is strong but not overly heavy. We believe our design of a truss with a inverted triangle should hold many times its wieght.
