UPDATE: Our Bridge won 1st prize in the adult category!
My family had fun last week building two popsicle stick bridges. The top one was designed and built by our five and a half year old. The bottom one was co-designed and built by Robyn and myself. 100 sticks, white glue, 500mm span.
Testing was scheduled at the Science Exhibition at Selkirk College on Saturday, but the loading machine broke attempting to test my bridge to failure. (Just kidding, it was already broken). There were heaps of submissions in all age categories, I’m sure the local West Kootenays APEGBC chapter will get round to testing these in the coming weeks.
I also had the opportunity to judge at the West Kootenay Science Fair. Several of the projects were truly outstanding.
