STEM-to-Go: Bridges

Friday, March 26th, 2021—Let’s build a bridge, Atoms! Syracuse Academy of Science and Citizenship elementary school students received their latest STEM-to-Go kit where students will be tasked with completing this fun hands-on, minds-on engineering challenge. The focus of this month’ STEM-to-Go Kit encourages the students to learn about Gravity and Force.

In their STEM-to-Go kit Atoms found toothpicks and marshmallows which will be used to construct the strongest bridge they can imagine. The students must construct a bridge with no support in the middle and measure how much weight it can hold before it collapses. We encourage students to use coins to measure the weight of their bridge. Please click here to watch a video from Mr. Roney explaining this month’s STEM-to-Go kit Challenge. Also, please remember to take plenty of pictures or videos of the students constructing their bridges.
