Building Truss Bridges

Students in Ms. Young's 9th-grade STEAM: Design Thinking class were tasked with the challenge of creating a structure that spans 15 inches and can support the weight of 10 pounds for 10 seconds without breaking. They also needed to make sure that their bridges were constructed while staying within budget. Each piece of material that they used came with a fee, and the class constructed truss bridges that each designed.
