Build a Truss Overdue

This exhibit allows learners to build a truss using components designed for either compression or tension. The design of the structural elements
demonstrates how the forces are distributed through the truss.

This exhibit is approximately 4'L x 5'H x 3'D and consists of: 

• 20 pairs of compression struts
• 20 pairs of cables
• 2 sets of molded hubs
• Tabletop storage bin and truss support
• Graphic panels

Electrical outlet needed: no
