At School 21 recently Mr. Jason Velante, with help from art teacher, Raquel Ford, and his 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade bilingual students studied different kinds of bridges and engineering concepts. Inspired by other arts integration projects at School 21, Mr. Velante wrote a song to help his students memorize different concepts.

The students were asked to create a bridge strong enough to withstand the weight of a toy car. Then the different designs were tested and students would attempt to identify and fix issues to reinforce the structures. To close their unit, Mr. Velante had Vanessa Galvez, a Civil Engineer, speak with the class virtually.
