What makes a bridge strong enough to withstand weight?
A truss is considered to be one of the strongest building structures ever created. Used for hundreds of years in bridges, it's made of many interconnected triangular shapes. In this hands-on program, children explore why certain shapes are stronger than others and how they distribute load and withstand force. Using what they learn, children will build and test the strength of their very own truss bridges.
