Sixth graders are in the midst of testing their big bridge projects, an annual tradition in which students build popsicle stick bridges to withstand a minimum of 12,000 grams of weight. This interdisciplinary project STEM project integrates science, technology, engineering, and math. Students are graded on the cost efficiency of the bridge, the load capacity, aesthetics, and the collaborative effort of each two-person team. In math class, students used their blueprints to assess the angles, incorporating their geometry skills. They used their technology skills to test their designs in the West Point Bridge software. If the design passed, they could move on to physically build the bridge. The bridges were tested in science class for how much weight they can hold before breaking.
