This is a great opportunity to learn principles of engineering and physics while having lots of fun. This popsicle bridge kit allows you to construct a Howe Truss Bridge which really works. Not only does this bridge work, but it can hold some serious weight. Put a load of 100 pounds on it, no problem. And if you spread the load out along the entire span, this little bridge can hold 140+ pounds of force.
Popsicle sticks are easy to work with, making this kit enjoyable for younger ages. Yet, because of its strength and performance, this bridge is a great choice for older students who are looking to impress.
Included in the kit are all the materials you will need to build the popsicle Howe Truss bridge: popsicle sticks, glue, tape, blueprints, and step-by-step building instructions with pictures to illustrate each step. Join the fun and order your kit today!
is there a way that i can build this with out buying any thing?
If you don’t want to use the blueprints and building instructions designed to make this bridge easy to build, then you will have to attempt to build it just by looking at the pictures.
What size of bridge does this kit make.
Need 20inches long and 10 inches wide
This bridge is 13.5 inches long and 3.5 inches wide.
I am interested in buying your kit. How do I go about it?

Earl, you can now purchase the kit directly from this page, or from my main store:

Any idea on how I would be able to calculate load capacity without destroying the bridge first.
James, are you asking in general or about this bridge in particular?
