Annual Bridge-Breaking Contest, October 26
The Annual Bridge-Breaking Contest at University Campus will be held on Wednesday, October 26, at 7 p.m., in Selby Auditorium, Lewis Hall. Admission is free. This academic competition for students in physics and engineering classes is fun for young children and for middle and high school students to watch. Saint Leo students have worked in teams to construct model bridges made with standard-issue kits of lightweight wood sticks and glue. The students bring their bridge entries to the competition, where faculty judges test how much stress and weight the bridges can bear. All the bridges break apart in the dramatic and entertaining testing process.
