This last year I entered an amazing bridge that won both aesthetics and efficiency. It was 350 grams, 30 inches long, and held 993 lbs, 1300 times its own weight! The materials are: high grade popsicle sticks, elmers white glue, lots of clamps, lots of thinking, lots of time(they allow about 4 months), good craftsmanship, and a lot of patience.

It’s Simple…
all you need is about 300-400 popsticle sticks and a hot glue gun or a regular glue…
then start combinning some popsticles to make a medium size arch to hold about 10 pounds with will trigger it to weild more weight for your science project.
at the end you should come out to about 40-70 pound bridge that can probubuly hold about 100-200 pounds of weight.
