Da Vinci Bridge STEM Kit: Self-Supporting Arch Engineering

(Science Small Production: Multiplier Force Bridge)

🌉 Key Features & Learning Value:

  1. Historical Engineering Principle:

    • Build Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic self-supporting arch bridge using interlocking beams – no fasteners or glue!

    • Demonstrates compression forcesload distribution, and geometric stability.

  2. Hands-On Physics:

    • Test weight-bearing capacity (e.g., books, weights) to study structural efficiency.

    • Explore how triangular units multiply load resistance.

  3. Cross-Disciplinary Skills:

    • Geometry: Trigonometric balance in angled beams

    • History: Renaissance engineering innovations

    • Problem-Solving: Troubleshooting collapses through iterative design

📐 Curriculum Alignment:


📦 Kit Includes:

  • Precision-cut wooden beams (eco-friendly)

  • Load-testing platform

  • Illustrated manual

🎯 Skills Developed:

✅ Spatial reasoning & geometric logic
✅ Iterative prototyping and failure analysis
✅ Team collaboration (ideal for 2-3 students)

⏱️ Specifications:

  • Age: 10+

  • Build Time: 20-35 mins

  • Model Span: 45cm when complete

  • Max Test Load: 8kg (safety-tested)

🏗️ Real-World Connections:

  • Ancient Chinese dougong vs. da Vinci designs
