When creating the 5 small bridges, i wanted some of them to be structured and the others look more dynamic so for example for the structured bridges I made the zig zag bridge and more the dynamic bridges, I folded the paper in different angles. i like how they came out as they look interesting and could work for actual bridges as some are possible for people to walk on and drive on. For improvements, i could have improved on the dynamic bridges a lot more as they look the same.
Afterwords we got into groups and we had to create a large bridge from one table to another. Our bridge had to be able to allow a boat (they used a table to represent the boat) to go under and only 2 points were allowed to touch the floor for support.
During the making, we used one members idea to make our bridge, and we first tried to come up with the base. our base went well to make and one member had a smart idea of adding a square cardboard with holes near each corner to hold the bamboo sticks for extra support. However we were struggling with support on the table as it wasnt holding well, even with all the tape so we had to wrap table around the table which helped alot.
Our bridge was coming out extremely well, I was definitely surprised with the outcome as i thought it wouldn't be able to hold and thought the 'boat' wouldn't be able to go under the bridge but it did fit luckily. When it came to testing, our tutor uses an RC Toy car to see if the bridge worked. It worked first time which was very surprising as he had to make a small turn near the beginning but the car goes very fast so I thought it'll end up driving off but after
adding in the extra support around the bridge, it diffidently helped keep the car on track. I really enjoyed this task as it was very intriguing and challenging when making the bridge which made it more fun.
