To develop buildable model bridges of
different structural types. The models are
used for outreach in Massachusetts
classrooms, grades 1-6. The working models
demonstrate different types of bridge
design, architecture, and construction
methods as they are assembled by grade
school students in a way that simulates the
actual construction process. This library of
bridge models will be used to foster
outreach to schools, interest in K-12
education by current college students, and
awareness of architecture and design in our
communities.
