Feb 2024 - Build a Bridge Challenge

“Nothing can be made, except by Makers…”

-Henry Ford, 1922

Good Morning Future Makers,

Welcome to the February, 2024 manufacturing activity by MAKE Publishing! We are honored to have you and your family on board. Enjoy the activity below!

Activity Description

• Age: 5-10 Years

• Ask: Can you manufacture a bridge using popsicle sticks and Play Doh?

• Materials:

  • Popsicle Sticks

  • Play Doh (use glue if preferred)

  • Toy Car

• Note to Parents: Remember! It is important to let children problem solve when creating. The process of the activity is just as important as the product! Ask questions but don’t offer answers. If he or she gets stuck, go back to things they know (how to make a Play Doh Ball, make two sticks stand together, etc.) to get them restarted. You can help with execution, but resist the urge to take over!

Future Makers Showcase: The future of manufacturing looks bright! Check out these Future Makers hard at work on their bridges. Well done!
