It all begins in how you plan to design your bridge and how you plan to build it. You first try to design a technical which means that you draw out your idea and how you are going to build it together to make it supportive to hold a lot of weight, but with the material provided.

The second part of building a toothpick bridge is starting to put it together. Which means you look at the technical drawing and see how you design it. You then start creating your bridge the way you plan it, with only string, glue, and toothpicks.

The third part is testing out how much your bridge weights, which means that it could not be more than 48 grams heavy. But your bridge has to be a maximum of 18 inches long or a minimum of 16 in long. While you are building your bridge you have to take concern that the bridge would be an inch apart from the platform to test it out.

The last part you locate your bridge in the platform and the start putting grams on it to see how much it would hold. When the bridge collapse see how much it hold and then write down your testing report and done.

The reason I choose to write about engineering is because I wanted to build something that I can design and create. So if are interested to create something the best thing to do is by taking engineering classes or as a pathway because it is never too late to start doing something you enjoy.
