Our crafts some steps before being ready
The students after the 1st phase of building, suggested that they should meet again to continue their work. So their 2nd encounter took place a few days later. These are their crafts, some steps before being ready.
Building bridges in the classroom
The students, after having made their research, they chose the kind of bridge they will construct with their team. They decided how they will find and bring the materials and started constructing their creations. The students after 2 hours of working, suggested that they should meet again to continuew their work. So their 2nd encounter took place a few days later.

First activities for the students
The first and sixth graders watched the two videos and spoke about what inspired them in the classroom. A discussion was held regarding the properties of bridges, their construction methods, materials, forms, applications, etc. A mind map was made based on the suggestions made by the pupils. Benefits of the activities: The activity of watching videos and engaging in discussions about bridges was a highly enriching experience for both first and sixth graders. Here, we delve into the added value of such an activity and the myriad benefits it brings to students. Firstly , utilizing videos as a teaching tool allows students to visually comprehend complex concepts. Bridges, with their intricate designs and engineering marvels, can be better understood when seen in action. By watching videos showcasing different types of bridges, students can observe firsthand how various construction methods, materials, and forms come together to create these architectural wonders.

STEM Project: Building a Bridge
This is a STEM project. Teachers Stavroula Lada, Vanessa Papalouka, Vyron Kostikas Grade 1st and 6 th grade of Elementary school Driving Question or Challenge How can we design and build a bridge that can hold objects of different weights? Real-world Context In the real world, engineers and architects use their knowledge of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to design and construct bridges that are safe and sturdy. By engaging in this project, students will explore the basics of bridge design and gain an understanding of the engineering principles involved.
