The Brookhaven National Laboratory Highschool Bridge Building Contest, organized by Brookhaven National Laboratory, is an in-person competition aimed at engaging high school students in the principles of engineering and design. The main objective is to challenge participants to construct a bridge that adheres to specific qualifications and is evaluated based on its structural integrity and design aesthetics. The contest is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, April 3, 2024, from 8:45 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Berkner Hall within the Brookhaven National Laboratory. Key skills covered in the competition include structural analysis, design efficiency, and creativity in engineering. Students are tasked with building a bridge that meets certain specifications, which are then inspected by lab staff for compliance. The competition culminates with awards for the top three bridges and a special award for design aesthetics. Furthermore, the top two bridges from this regional contest will gain the opportunity to compete in the International Contest in New Philadelphia, Ohio, later in April 2024. The competition emphasizes hands-on learning and problem-solving skills in a practical setting, with the added benefit of fostering teamwork and innovation. While the specific instructors or their qualifications are not detailed, the event is coordinated by Michele Darienzo at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Participants, particularly non-U.S. citizens, must ensure compliance with Brookhaven Lab's guest policies, including the completion of a Guest Form for approval to attend. This event offers a platform for students to display their engineering prowess and gain recognition at both regional and international levels.
