Spaghetti Bridge Challenge

Bridges made of spaghetti - what a strange idea. Today we had a group challenge: to make a bridge using spaghetti and marshmallows. 

We looked at some photos of real life bridges and some photos of other bridges made of spaghetti. We noticed that a lot of them used triangles and pyramids to make them strong. 

Our criteria: 

• It is 30cm long.
• It needs to be stable enough to hold a matchbox car so it can travel across the bridge once pushed.
• You can only use spaghetti and marshmallows.
• You need to be able to lift your bridge to the test area.
• Your only equipment is a pair of scissors. 
• The time limit 35 minutes. 

Whilst not all of our bridges were "successful" we had fun working together and eating the marshmallows at the end.
