Our bridges needed to be strong enough to hold weight. Some of us used support beams in the middle to allow heavier objects to be placed on them. Others created A frames, while others used triangluar supports to stop them collapsing.

Building Bridges (The spaghetti challenge)
This week our Stem challenge was to build a bridge out of spaghetti and cellotape (other brands are available). It had to be over 10 cm off the ground. It had to be freestanding. We had to make the bridges wide enough to sit the weights on it. Some We also had the equipment we had and weren't allowed any extras.
