During our second day of the 3DD pathway we firstly made multiple paper sculptures of bridges

I tried to experiment with different shapes and textures for the bridges while using paper and masking tape. I believe I was successful in making the bridges however I do not believe that they would be very practical bridges in the real world.

We were all then placed into groups of around six or seven people and asked to make a real bridge which went from one side of the room to the other using tape, rubber bands, 10 pieces of cardboard and 30 bamboo sticks. This bridge's steadiness would then be tested using a remote controlled car.

I really enjoyed this task because not only was our bridge successful in steadiness, it was also a fun way to work with others in my group as well as make friends with them all.

As well as turning the pattern on the soles of our shoes into a piece of jewellery.

We were also asked to make a structure which was able to hold a full bottle of water 20cm of the ground with only one sheet of paper and masking tape, my initial thought at this task was "what? impossible" but as I started to play around with ideas I realised that multiple roles of paper stuck together was a very strong structure and believed that it was able to hold the water bottle.

Thankfully, my structure proved to be successful as it was able to hold the full bottle of water which ever way it was used.
