Glasgow Science Festival’s Creating Engineers Bridge Challenge
Celebrate our city's development and regeneration throughout the years, including three new bridges one of which is now open just outside the Riverside Museum.
1) We want you to:
- Design a bridge using the available K'Nex
- Demonstrate it can support the weight of two tyres
The Glasgow Science Festival (GSF) Creating Engineers competition has run for nearly two decades. Each year, we welcome over 6,000 primary 5 & 6 pupils from across the West of Scotland and surrounds to take part.
Pupils work in pairs and compete through four rounds (Classroom, Cluster, Regional Final & Grand Final) for the chance to become the Glasgow Science Festival Creating Engineers Champions. The competition tests the pupils on their teamwork, problem solving, construction skills and creativity through engineering-based challenges.
