How do Cantilevers Work? Civil Engineering for kids

Описание: What is a cantilever? Cantilevers are structures like beam that are only supported on one end. Civil engineers and architects balance and anchor them to make bridges, buildings, and more! Sofia Puerto is a civil engineer who loves to help people who uses science and engineering to make the bridges, roadways, and buildings we see around us. She explains what a cantilever is and how it works in variety of engineering projects.

Use this video as inspiration for a Technovation Design Challenge:

Make a cantilever that can hold 5 marbles at least 12 inches away from its base structure.

Difficulty Level: 1
This is the difficulty level for a typical 4th grade classroom. Modify as needed for other age groups.
This design challenge requires simple motor skills, understanding of straightforward concepts, or common materials to build.
