Toothpick bridge

Post by postpremium »

Need help starting with toothpick bridge. What is the best idea to get first place?

Rules: only toothpicks and white glue

Saw this thread already but was kind of confused on what Craig was talking about with soaking the toothpicks : https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... +Toothpick

Hi postpremium,
This looks like a fun project. Based on the url, the soaking of toothpick was done to allow for access to the individual strands that makes up the toothpick and reshape it into a joint or other structure.
Good Luck!
Willey
