Bridges

Tonight was a den meeting to work on the engineering badge.  They built bridges out of straws and tape

Each boy had a partner who built the exact same thing, two sides of a bridge. Each group got a bag with the instructions, a picture,  and the straws needed to make it. The tape, scissors, and ruler were already on the table.

Working hard

Getting some expert instruction

Finished bridge!

Adding pennies to see how much weight it would hold. At 100 pennies they had to stop.  That is all the pennies they brought!  The boys built a great bridge.
Lon wants to build more at home!
