Campers at the Fieldale Community Center investigated the world of engineering in this design-inspired camp! Civil engineering was the theme of the week as students were given several structural challenges that tested their ingenuity and problem solving skills.
Students visited Fieldale Park to observe the truss bridge before creating their own bridge from a single sheet of paper.
Using two bricks, a sheet of paper, and several pennies, students explored different folding methods to test the strength of their paper bridge.
Who knew marshmallows and toothpicks could be combined to form a sturdy structure?
Clearly, drinking straws are used for more than drinking!
The week culminated with the students designing and building amusement park rides.
