Congo Camp 2010

The suspension bridges the Young Engineers made.

Our Young Engineers continued exploring how important engineering is to the everyday as they made suspension bridges. 

One of the more well-known types of bridges, suspension bridges work with special cords and platforms that hold up parts of the bridge.

To make this bridge, the campers started off with pieces of string and a fake roadway.  Once they had these parts, they then started to connect the strings to various parts of the bridge to lift it up. 

The bridges looked excellent after completion and we are all excited that in only a few decades time we may be driving over our Young Engineers's bridges.
