Mme Ward and Ms Susan would like to congratulate you all on completing your bridges in such a short amount of time and for your determination in completing your bridge design in time for it to be entered in the competition, which was held on Friday, March 15th. The top bridge in the competition this year held 630 lbs and was designed by a student in grade 12 at Three Oaks High School in Summerside.
If you didn’t get a chance to compete this year, or if you’d like to try again next year for the 30th anniversary; the competition will take place again next March for Engineers Month and bridge building will begin in February of 2025.
