Community invited to annual bridge-building contest March 9
The community is invited to watch future and amateur engineers and scientists compete in Saint Leo’s annual Popsicle® stick bridge competition. Hosted by the Department of Natural Sciences, the event will be held 6-8 p.m., Thursday, March 9, in Selby Auditorium in Lewis Hall.
Saint Leo and Pasco County high school students were invited to design and build Popsicle® stick bridges and compete in this contest. The winners will be selected in two categories: the strongest bridge that can hold the most weight and the Most Aesthetically-Pleasing Bridge that receives the most votes from the audience!
The goal of the contest is to build the strongest possible bridge using only Elmer’s® glue and no more than 200 standard Popsicle® sticks. The entries must bridge a 1.2-meter span as described in the contest rules. 
The public is invited to attend the event to watch the teams compete and see which bridge can hold the most weight (and which bridges collapse quickly). Bring your friends and family!
