Building a Bridge

It is the end of the year and in mathematics class we are assigned a challenge. That challenge is to build a bridge like model. This assignment is like if your building a real bridge with a budget and everything.This budget is 1.5 million. You may not go over this budget, but u may have some money left. The tools used in my bridge are Popsicle sticks performed as metal bars as if a real bridge. A hot glue gun as fire to put stuff together. Pipe cleaners as wires to use to hold the bridge.
Their are four members in my group. Robert Aguilara, Fernando Rivera, George Gamboa, and I Bryan Salas. With have just enough group members to build this bridge. First we have to do the calculations for how many things we can afford.  Then we have to buy the materials from the supplier (Mr.C). From the sketch that we have came up with. Now i is our job to make a 3-d model of a our sketch. Our bridge is mixed with a Suspension, Truss, and Arch bridge all combined together.
My job is to build the separate pieces . Say if my group needs a 30 in by length base, my job is to build that as fast as I can an as Precise as possible. My group counts on me to do my job correctly. The rest of my group puts everything I build together in a orderly fashioned way that would become sturdy and efficient. Only one person in my group helps me with putting the pieces together. Before we did all of the gluing and building we had to research I our bridge will hold. I think that our bridge will hold do to all its resources.
