pasta bridge stress test, originally uploaded by qwrrty.

We went to an open house at the Voyagers Homeschooling Co-op in Acton. One of the activities was an invention workshop, where they were building bridges out of spaghetti noodles.

Final tally for Morgan's bridge:

* 7.4 reams of paper
* 387 #2 pencils
* 36 colored pencils,
* 30 large Crayola markers
* 100 small Crayola markers
* five glue sticks
* and six quarts of milk.

We like it a lot and Morgan seemed to hit it off with the other kids. We're enrolling him in the fall program.

Looks like you're missing a blastic tub and a large cardboard box in the supported weight..
