Inside History on Instagram: "🏗️🤯 A bridge built entirely from popsicle sticks managed to support nearly half a ton of weight before finally giving way. This wasn’t a lucky improvisation—it was carefully engineered. Civil engineering students applied the same principles used in real bridges: load distribution, triangulation, compression versus tension, and material efficiency, all scaled down to wooden sticks and adhesive. By arranging the sticks into precise truss patterns, each
