Design Brief Process

We as students have to design a bridge that is able to withstand the amount of 50 lbs. We must sketch a drawing that is either beam, arch, or a suspension bridge. Our bridge must be 12 inches long and be constructed of toothpicks and Popsicle sticks. If bridges are not strong enough to obtain a certain weight they become a problem to the public due to it being a safety hazard. The bridge also must be the same size as the sketch drawn on the graph paper. Another material we will be able to use is glue. The glue will make the sticks connect with each other in a way that they support on another.
