Building A Bridge

In my school the 8th grade Algebra students are building a bridge. The students may only use pipe cleaners, Popsicle sticks, hot glue guns, regular Elmer's glue, endless tape and what ever else we bring will be put off from our budget. Our budget was of 1.5 million dollars. If you are wondering what a budget is, it is the amount of money given to someone so that they can spend it on what ever they are to do. For example the money given was our budget of 1.5 million dollars. 

I'm working with three other people Brianna Butler,Stephanie Ventura and Gregory Edmond. They are classmates from my Algebra class. We designed our own bridge. Including a Gregory had built a small model of it but we were never able to see it because he had gone to a trip. So know that he came back we are doing the final touches to the bridge.

When it is time our teacher Mr. Castiglione will put weight on the bridges and see whether wich one can hold the most. Including which one is the lightest.
