Dear Educator,

Thank you for your commitment to participate in the 2013 Pasta Engineering Contest.
This engineering challenge is designed to increase high school students' awareness about design, fabrication and careers in engineering. The purpose is to have the students work together to determine the best strategy using the provided materials to design and construct the strongest bridge.
The competition and award presentation will take place on Monday, March 4th, 2013 at 6:00 pm. At Saint Vincent College's Events and Conference Center at the Fred Rogers Center. Students and their parents are invited to join us for the judging of the bridges. 
Teachers will be notified regarding the drop off procedures for the completed bridges. The bridges will be weighed upon delivery. 
Engineering professionals from Gibson-Thomas Engineering and Michael Baker Corporation along with a representative from Saint Vincent College will serve as judges.
