Teen Space Program

Techno Star Hour

This month for techno star hour we decided to get low tech and not concentrate on the T in S.T.E.A.M. but the E instead. Each teen was given plastic straws and tape in order to build a bridge that was strong enough to hold one or more books.

First teens, decided what type of bridge they wanted to build. They all thought a Beam Bridge would be the best (and easiest) to make but all had their own may of putting it together.


The first test came by seeing if their bridge could hold a lightweight eraser. 

If there bridge didn't collapse under that weight, it was time to test the books. 

A couple teens even tried both the erasers and book.

The strongest bridge was able to hold all 6 books. Unfortunately, it collapse, when she decided to see what else it could hold.
