This was a short, one day, in class project that actually taught me a lot. This was also a civil engineering project just like the bridge. We were given a certain amount of popsicle sticks and unlimited amount of hot glue and were told to make a structure that hungover the side of the table and hold as much weight as possible to imitate the hangover bridge at the grand canyon. Graydon and I designed a hangover bridge that actually fit right on the corner of the desk and sort of grabbed on the desk. I really wouldn't change anything about our design considering it held well over 9000 grams and we could've kept going but we ran out of time in class. I learned that you need to really think through your design before starting to build like Graydon and I did. I really enjoyed doing this on Grandparents day and wouldn't change a single thing about it.
