Bridge Engineering: Spanning the Gap with Design


Bloomington Youth / SLAM -
Summer 2025 SLAM, Bloomington Youth and Adult Enrichment

Gr. 1-2. This hands-on course uses the engineering design process to guide students through the creation of bridges. Participants will explore structural strength and test load capacity, building bridges from recycled materials inspired by "Iggy Peck, Architect" and designing a bridge fit for the "Three Billy Goats Gruff." The course integrates literacy with science concepts, fostering both creative and critical thinking skills.

My background is in Biochemistry but my passion is education. I have a Masters in Education, wrote engineering curriculum for the Works Museum, and was an elementary STEAM specialist. I currently teach 4 year olds and love developing fun hands-on summer camps.
