Description / Polydron Bridges Class Set - 322 pieces
Budding engineers at the ready! This product has been developed through extensive consultation with education experts around the world, aiming to foster students’ creativity and early STEM skills.
The durable, classroom friendly, plastic pieces are joined using a reliable clip hinge on the shape edge. A variety of specialised pieces, like struts and pulleys, can be used in conjunction with basic shapes to create impressive constructions.Â
Eight significant bridge designsÂ
The instructional work-cards included will guide students through the process of creating truss, suspension, cantilever, drawbridge, cablestay, swing and bascule bridges. All eight bridge designs can be made at the same time with this comprehensive set, allowing for whole class involvement and visual comparison between the key elements of each.Â
Students can then be challenged to plan and build their own bridge structures, competing in small groups to see whose creation can bear the most weight.Â
