R 85.00
Explore structural engineering principles by constructing a miniature Warren truss bridge. Learners apply science and mathematical concepts to build a functional model demonstrating actual load distribution. 

Design and construct a strong, efficient bridge model. 

 

Inspired by the Warren truss design, this kit teaches learners about load distribution and structural integrity. Using a series of interconnected triangles, the bridge demonstrates how tension and compression work together to support weight. Perfect for exploring engineering concepts in a practical way.
