Design Squad - Top Builder: Paper Structures Video | PBS KIDS

The Vexia on Instagram: "A flat sheet of paper collapses easily under pressure—it has little structural strength. But once folded or creased, everything changes. Those bends create ridges that act like tiny support beams, distributing weight evenly across the surface. The folds add rigidity, reduce bending, and allow the paper to carry significantly more load. It's the same principle engineers use when designing bridges and buildings—using arches, corrugation, and beams to turn simple materials
