Hello, my name is Emily Ocampo, I'm a sophomore in high school and I want to present the bridge that I have created. I would intend to build the bridge across I-75 to allow pedestrians to safely proceed across the interstate.

Supplies

You'll need the following:

Computer
Paper
Pencil
Location of Your Choice

Step 1: Discover Your Predicament

Before you move forward with this project, you will need to discover a problem you want to set right. Identify where a bridge would be perfect and where it would help out pedestrians the most. How would it affect them and would it be a positive or negative effect? I realized that there aren't any pedestrian-only bridges across I-75, so I have decided to allow people to travel across without worrying about vehicles.

Step 2: Research About Your Predicament

After you found your problem, you will need to investigate more about the problem you have chosen to solve. I have researched that there aren't any pedestrian bridges across I-75. There aren't any accessible walkways for pedestrians needing to safely move across the interstate and it increases approachability to hiking trials.

Step 3: Brainstorm Ideas

This is the step where you use your imagination and figure out your unique style for your bridge. If it helps, pull out a sheet of paper and sketch out your first idea of what your bridge might look like. I quickly sketched two ideas and chose the most beneficial one.

Step 4: Design a Solution

Finally, create your design on the website of your choice and include or remove ideas that you like or dislike. I implemented my sketch onto a 3D model website and I designed a bridge made specifically for pedestrians.

Step 5: Constraint List

My bridge would be made of concrete and steel, to make sure it is stable and as safe as possible. It would have a ramp for handicapped access for everybody to enjoy. The design would be cost-efficient and aesthetically pleasing.
