Your goal for day one is to get a working bridge that is NOT a suspension bridge, and then minimize costs.
You will receive points for
- the weight your bridge can hold
- the design cost of your bridge
- the aesthetics of your bridge design and its build
- the agreement in design size between your bridge and your model
When you get a working design, you will need to save the file and minimize the costs. When you think you are done, send me a copy of the design file.
Day 2: Building the model:
You may use straws (a hollow core structure) or a bamboo skewer model. Please bring these on Friday, as well as glue guns and glue sticks. Your group size must be 3 or less.
