Popeye’s Arm, Truss Bridge!

This is my first Action Project for my class Urban Planning, and it was awesome!
During this time we are all at home due to the Covid-19 Stay at home order and learning has been stressful at times. Our classes have turned to virtual chat sessions and we connect by Zoom or Google Meets. We dug deep into learning about triangles in our time and how there the strongest shape, and lots of scientific topics on physics. We went over the Laws of Sin and Cosine and also talked about tension and compression. This brings me to the point where we cross the bridge here. 
For the Action Project, we were chosen by the Gods and Goddesses of bridges to build the strongest withstandable popsicles stick contraption. We all were sent 60 sticks, glue, and a taste of friendly competition. My bridge held up to more weight of a newborn and also withstood constant bitting from my dog and cat. Well, enough talking about it here's my presentation below. Enjoy!



Thoughts about this Ap? Well, it was cool, I got to work with my hands and create something special and unique. Also while doing so I learned new ways to make bridges withstand more, and this could impact my future. Especially if I were to become a landscaper or construction worker. The project was timing consuming but it was worth it in the end. If I were to do this again I would paint my bridge and spend more time on the bottom portion of my bridge. Anyways thanks for viewing my presentation.
