Truss, suspension, cable-stayed, and other types of bridges.

Bridges are a natural part of human history and ingenuity and are as simple as crossing a fallen tree across a creek. However, in time people wanted to be able to span larger areas, which led to engineering different solutions. STEM Challenge: make a truss bridge out of straws.
