Make a self supporting bridge with no mechanical fasteners or adhesives based on one of Leonardo Da Vinci’s designs. You will be weaving the sticks together so that the tension between the sticks keeps the bridge together and lifts it off of the ground. You need:
-
Jumbo popsicle sticks (colorful ones may be easier)
-
Stable working platform
-
Patience
The bridge is strong when it comes to downward force but lateral force (from the sides) may cause it to topple. Moving the bridge while it stands (even slightly) could cause it to fall apart, so be careful.
