Toothpick bridge is a simple bridge construction made of wooden toothpicks. Creation of toothpick bridge can be used for testing the basic processes of bridge building, truss structures, resilience, capacity, structural strength, main forces that affect the bridge components, creativity and experimental bridge designs.
