Bridge Builder [Jacob Gobbo]

Bridge Builder

  • This toy is based on the physics games where you must design a bridge to hold a specific weight. It is being transferred to real life to make it more tangible for children.
  • A child will use the components that come with the kit to build the bridge. with a specific weight for each problem. Each problem will have specific parts that the child should be able to accomplish the task with. Harder sets of problems can be made by limiting the parts.
  • In the original app, the whole bridge would break if it wasn’t strong enough but instead sensors will be built into the parts to determine if any of them are taking on too much weight.
