Bridge Building Engineering Center

How are bridges designed? What makes a bridge strong? Our engaging building center teaches kids to look closer at real-life designs—and make original structures that use the same important elements! Created to encourage open-ended building with minimal teacher involvement, our center includes 8 photo cards showing actual bridges, plus tons of hands-on manipulatives that invite children to build, explore and engineer—again and again! For easy reference, the back of each photo card explains key elements for each design—so it’s easy to guide children’s learning. You get 480 plastic bridge building materials, plus 8 photo cards for exploring structure, design, attributes and more! Center comes in an 11 1/2" plastic storage tub; longest building piece measures 4 7/8".
