YMF Popsicle Stick Bridge Competition
We are excited to announce that competition will be held on Saturday, February 8, 2020 at the Museum of Flight. The competition is organized and run by the American Society of Civil Engineers – Younger Member Forum in the effort to encourage high school students to take an interest in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). We invite and highly encourage all Western Washington high school students to compete in this fun and educational event! PSB competition is a fun opportunity for students to challenge themselves with a real-world application of math and science through an engineering exercise of building a strong, light, and aesthetically pleasing bridge using only Popsicle sticks and white glue. On contest day, bridges will be loaded to see if any are left standing!
