Maker Challenge: Bridge Building

Bridges are amazing structures that help keep people and goods connected. Come see if you can span the gap with a weight-bearing bridge of your own design. Engineer your way to victory in The Forge and find out just how much force your design can handle.

This challenge will be held daily between 10 a.m.– noon and 3:30–5 p.m. everyday in September except for the following dates (September 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 21, 22, 28 and 29).
