STEM Week @ The Museum - Paper Bridges

How strong can paper be? Let’s find out!

At this hands-on engineering activity, children will experiment with building bridges using paper folded in different ways. Kids will test their designs, add weight, make changes, and try again — just like real engineers do.

Through playful trial and error, children will:

Explore how shape and structure affect strength

Learn that the same material can perform very differently depending on how it’s used

Practice problem-solving, creativity, and persistence

This activity is open-ended and accessible for a wide range of ages, with plenty of opportunities for experimenting, redesigning, and discovering “aha!” moments along the way.

Come build, test, and see which paper bridge can hold the most!
