For their Tech class, Nolan and his partner had to design and construct a bridge that balances efficiency and strength. They could use a maximum number of 200 popsicle sticks. Efficiency would be measured by the amount of material used by weight, and strength by the weight that the bridge can carry for 20 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
