This past April, the West Kootenay Branch hosted a virtual Popsicle stick bridge building competition. Participants had the chance to build their own bridge and have it tested against the force of a loading plate to discover its maximum load. During this process, participants experienced the many ways engineering and geoscience relates to our everyday life and learned more about the engineering and geoscience professions.
Videos from the popsicle bridge competition are available in the West Kootenay Branch Owncloud folder (password: WKbranch2022).
