Building Bridges at Scienceworks

Discover the science behind bridge construction in this hands-on activity, and learn more about engineering in the Scienceworks Amphitheatre show.

Come to terms with concepts such as force, tension and compression to explore the geometry of bridges and the science of building materials. Test your knowledge as a young engineer by experimenting with our construction play equipment.

Suitable for ages 6+.
