The Young Engineers series is a collection of STEM Projects that I developed while teaching K-6 students. Every project uses the same set of inexpensive materials so it's cost effective for parents and educators to do multiple projects or teach large groups.

Truss Bridge:
The ultimate project to illustrate the power of triangles! The challenge is to build a bridge that can hold the most weight and is at least 3 craft sticks long. The truss bridge is comprised of repeating triangles, and the shape of the bridge itself forms a triangular prism, resulting in an ultra-strong structure.
