Structures and Bridges Kit
Students gain a comprehensive understanding of structural engineering and learn how engineering concepts are applied in supporting or resisting loads.
National Standards for Grade Levels 7-12
As students compare bridges and learn the STEM principles that support their designs. Students construct working models of a suspension bridge, a cable-stayed bridge, an arch bridge, and two truss bridges. They are also challenged to build the largest free standing tower possible using the Engino® components included. Finally, students apply their newly acquired knowledge to design and build a straw bridge to specifications using plastic straws and masking tape. Includes all building and testing materials, instructor’s manual, lesson plans, Engino® hands on activity books, building instructions, and student worksheets. Plan to spend 10-14 days on the Unit. Designed for 24 students working in groups of four.
