BNL Bridge ContestBridge Building Contest

Sponsored By: The Office of Educational Programs (OEP)

High school students from Long Island submit their bridges to the ultimate pressure test, and compete to take part in a national contest!

The construction and testing of model bridges promotes the study and application of principles of physics and also helps students develop "hands on" skills. Through participating, students get a flavor of what it is to be an engineer; designing structures to a set of specs and then seeing them perform their function.
