A Bridge to France 🇫🇷 Challenge 4

Back to News
27th Feb 2023

Our challenge this week was to create a paper structure that could support the weight of a P7 pupil! 

We were amazed to discover that by joining many tubular structures together a bigger weight can be supported! (When we combined all our structures together, our paper tubes could even support the weight of every child in the class)! 

This type of engineering is used to help support and strengthen suspension bridges!
