Building model bridges is fun. So fun that sometimes you might not even know you are learning. Physics, math, and engineering concepts are brought to life through the hands-on project of designing and building a model bridge. Garrett's Bridges is a resource used by teachers, students, and parents alike for turning model bridge building into a fun and rich experience.
