Students are asking...How much will my bridge hold?

 

Bridges are being built for the 2015 Pasta Engineering Contest.

Carbone's is once again proud to sponsor the 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 2nd, 2015 at 6:00 pm. At Saint Vincent College's Events and Conference Center at the Fred Rogers Center. Students, their parents, and everyone else are invited to join us for the judging of the bridges. 

We are anxiously waiting to see who can build the bridge that will break the current record of 109 pounds set in 2011.  If you want to see pictures of that bridge they are on our facebook page.  Photos from the last two contests are on the Saint Vincent College flikr page.

Engineering professionals from local business along with a representative from Saint Vincent College will serve as judges.
