Cleveland Bridge is looking for ways to inspire the next generation of bridge builders so wants to see how creative pupils can be!
Cleveland Bridge is asking the public to get creative and build a bridge using anything that they might find lying around the house – from Lego to loo roll holders – and would love your pupils to get involved. This is a STEM activity for all ages, and even the pets, to have fun with while working and learning at home. They’re looking for creative, colourful, strong, short and tall bridges – and everything in between, and they would love to see how much weight they can hold too!
Cleveland Bridge will share all images of construction in progress and completed bridges that are sent to us at katie.farnish@clevelandbridge.com or jenn@harveyandhugo.com with the child’s first name, age and a contact email address (parent or school). Don’t worry, personal details will not be shared.
