In this episode of “Know Brainers,” Matt Nethersole, a professional theatre person, takes on the challenge of building a strong popsicle stick bridge to compete with engineers. With guidance from professors and engineers at Mohawk College, Matt learns to construct a simple yet robust bridge using popsicle sticks, white glue, basic physics, and some technique. Despite the bridge’s eventual destruction by “The Crusher,” the journey from a fragile glitter bridge to a load-bearing structure is both educational and entertaining. Matt even drives a car over the bridge to test its strength. Follow “Know Brainers” on TikTok for more fun and informative videos.
