Building Cowboys Stadium

The boys and I had a couple of friends over to learn a little about the engineering involved in developing the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium.  First we watch a short show called 'Build It Bigger' that walked you through the engineering of the stadium. We also did a couple of engineering challenges including making a barrel bridge out of 1 sheet of paper that was able to hold the weight of an entire ream of cardstock. The bridge is able to withstand the weight in the same concept as the stadium. Quite an engineering feat!
