Briggs Class visit Tower Bridge

Briggs Class had a fantastic day visiting Tower Bridge to study how bridges work. We have been learning about the Bosphorus Bridge in our Topic on Istanbul and have been comparing it to bridges we know. We had a workshop on how to build and programme bascule bridges which involved the 3D printing of parts for our bridge and coding the instructions to open it. We also had a tour of the engine rooms and climbed up to the top of the bridge to walk across the glass walkway.
