Bridge Building
Competition
February 19th, 2011

Constructing a building, bridge, home
or porch is a challenge that requires engineering skill. Science
Central invites all middle and high school engineers to compete in the Bridge Building Competition!
The
objective is to design and build the strongest, lightest, and firmest (low
deflection of load bearing surface) bridge using craft sticks and adhesive.
Each bridge is weighed and tested. Testing involves partially or
completely destroying your creation, which is not recommended for testing
finished bridges in the real world, but it's a great way to evaluate
models!
