This weekend Scale Rulers Megan and Andy ran a Straw-ctural Engineering workshop in Here East, Stratford to celebrate Open House weekend. They recruited participants of all ages to make their very own buildings, bridges and sculptures out of straws and paperclips and decorate them as they saw fit before placing their creations on our huge map of East London to help us crafterplan the Olympic Park area.

We were blown away by the imagination and creativity of the models, ranging from cosy straw cottages to sprawling sculptures!
