29 Toothpicks

In this project we made a structure by using only 29 toothpicks. This is why the project name is called 29 toothpicks. We tried to make the structure that can carry the most weight by using only white glue and 29 toothpicks. For each trial, we worte down the record and made the structure stronger by adding toothpicks or glue on the structure.
For our first trial, our structure was able to hold 2 textbooks. I expected that the structure might break but it didn't.
We didn't had second trial and for final trial, we made some adjustment by adding toothpicks on each side of a strucutre and connecting two structure as one. It was holding 12 textbooks as we expected to hold 10 textbooks. It was hard to balance all of the textbooks.
