    The engineering challenge tasks teams with constructing a free-standing bridge out of spaghetti that can support a 225g bag of sugar using only spaghetti, elastic bands, tape, and string. To be successful, teams should think about bracing spaghetti strands together into strong triangular shapes and using rubber bands at junctions. Patience and trial-and-error are encouraged to become proficient at working with spaghetti.

    ENGINEERING CHALLENGE

    SPAGHETTI BRIDGES

    The Brief: Construct a free-standing bridge out of spaghetti, strong


    enough to support a 225g bag of sugar.

    The Method: Think about bracing strands together for strength.


    Some shapes are better at absorbing loads – triangles are particularly
    strong. Rubber bands make for good junctions.

    Materials (per team): 500gs raw spaghetti


    Elastic bands
    Tape
    String

    Top Tip: Be patient. Through trial and error, you’ll become


    proficient at working with spaghetti.
