Suspension Bridges

We're turning Atherton Library into a construction zone, and you're invited to build an epic suspension bridge using just paper, string, and pipe cleaners!

Learn some of the cool science behind suspension bridges and get hands-on with a mega-fun building session. Will your bridge stand up to the weight?

This workshop is made possible through the support of Tablelands Regional Council
