During Engineers’ Week in March, an engineer visited third class in room 26. The students were given a challenge to build a bridge over a “ravine” (2 chairs) that would support a toy car.
Each group was given:
- String
- Drinking straws
- Paper cups
- Blu-tac
- Elastic bands
- A metre stick for measuring
- A toy car for testing
Given 20 minutes to plan, sketch and build the bridge.
The group that got the furthest and who worked best as a team was deemed the winner.
