For this weeks project, we had to make an I-Beam and a beam of our own design. I was excited to see how the beams worked. My beam held more cans of food because I used a triangle in my design which is the strongest shape. My beam held around 25 items, even though the video cut off at the end, you were still able to see that my beam was very strong. My I-Beam did not work as as well, but still held many items, because the weight bent the beam and the beam fell. I think the experiment was interesting because I never knew a cardboard beam could be so strong.
