Program Description

Event Details


Can you build a bridge strong enough to hold toy cars—using only plain paper? In this teamwork challenge, kids will experiment with folding, twisting, tearing, and braiding paper to create a sturdy bridge that spans the gap between two tables. After testing their bridges with Matchbox cars, we’ll talk about what worked best, and what was tricky.  Perfect for kids in grades 3–5.
