My Project

People use bridges daily to get from one place to another. After the Industrial Revolution, bridges became more and more sophisticated. Our STEAM Club has been learning how engineers design bridges capable of supporting larger loads and spanning greater distances, making it possible to link cities and communities through shorter, more direct routes and crossing obstacles such as waterways or other natural features that had previously blocked passage. So far we have been using popsicle sticks and liquid glue to practice. Now we are ready to compete this March using pasta noodles!

In this challenge, we will create a bridge to replace one of the Louisiana bridges by researching its history, designing/building the bridge, and making a pitch/bid as to why the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) should select our bridge design.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
