In this quick STEM challenge, students will use the engineering design process. They will become civil engineers to design and create their own bridge. Specify a type of bridge (span, arch, suspension, truss) or allow them to choose their own. If you have thought about trying a STEM challenge but weren't sure where to start, this is a great way to dive in. If you already love doing STEM challenges with your students, I know you will enjoy this challenge. This resource has one QUICK STEM challenge you can do with readily available materials.
