Truss Bridges Put to the Test

Ms. Young’s STEAM: Design Thinking class completed their truss bridge challenge with the final task of testing their bridges. The students, from grades nine through 12, placed their bridges over a gap of 15 inches to see if they could support the weight of at least 10 textbooks for 10 seconds. How did the bridges hold up? Seniors Nate Doldron, Aaron Bacall, Harrison Metrick, and Trevor Kim designed and created the winning bridge, which supported 56 books weighing over 100 pounds!
