Children encouraged to get creative with home bridge building challenge
by Natasha Christou Digital Marketing ConsultantCleveland Bridge UK is helping parents
make home schooling fun and engaging during the COVID-19 situation fun with a
social media bridge building challenge.
The
Darlington-based company has teamed up with civil engineering and rail
contractors Griffiths to encourage kids
to create bridges from items from around the home and share photos of their
structures on social media.
From recycling
materials such as cereal boxed and plastic bottles, to tins of food and Lego
blocks, Cleveland Bridge is challenging kids to be as creative as possible so
their parents can post their masterpieces on Cleveland Bridge’s Twitter and
Instagram pages.
The two companies
are also engaging with local schools who can support the challenge to provide a
fun STEM-based activity while their pupils are learning from home.
Chris Droogan,
Managing Director of Cleveland Bridge UK, said: “Parents will be looking for
new things to add to their children’s home learning during this difficult time
and we thought this would be a great STEM activity to help families get
creative!
“We can’t wait to
see the amazing bridges the children come up with and sharing pictures of their
super structures on our social media pages. Hopefully it will also
inspire some to become engineers and be the bridge builders of the future.”
Pictures of kids
designing and building their bridges, and of course their finished structures
can be sent publicly or privately via twitter to @CleveBridgeUK, Instagram
@clevelandbridgeuk. Alternatively they can be emailed to Katie.farnish@clevelandbridge.com.
Parents and
guardians are asked to provide the name and age of their child along with an
email address. Images will be posted on Cleveland Bridge UK’s social
media pages, but no contact details will be shared.
