DIY Leonardo da Vinci Self-Supporting Bridge Kit

The DIY Leonardo da Vinci Self-Supporting Bridge Kit lets you construct your own wooden arch bridge and explore the engineering that makes it stand. Piece by piece, you assemble the beams, supports and deck into a freestanding model that shows how geometry, balance and compression create a stable structure.

Key features

• Wooden arch bridge model
• Assemble beams, supports and bridge deck
• Freestanding, self-supporting design
• Explores geometry, balance, compression and structural design

Seeing a bridge stand without any fixings is surprising, and building one yourself shows how the pieces lock together under their own weight. It is a great project for families, classrooms and anyone interested in design. A hands-on look at the principles behind real-world bridge construction. Find more mechanical models.
