| The MakerBot 3-D printer finishing up a bridge |
Sixth grade students have been working on a bridge challenge using Tinkercad.com. Their challenge was to rebuild the main street bridge. The bridges will be assessed by how much weight they can hold, overall design look, a wind tunnel test, and realistic features. Students were in total control of their project and their finished design must meet measurement standards. While all these plans were taking place they also had to keep in mind a budget, or total cost of the concrete for the project. The student that has the lightest bridge will achieve high marks for budgeting and design. I hope the main street never collapses, but if so we have some pretty cool models the city could begin looking at!
