The Central Interior branch of Engineers and Geoscientists BC brought its annual Popsicle Stick Bridge Building Competition to Pine Centre Mall on Saturday, April 5.
The annual competition is designed to promote STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) in the community.
Participants designed their bridges at home using a maximum of 100 Popsicle sticks and white school glue, then brought them to the mall for testing on a specially designed machine that applies increasing pressure while using a load cell sensor to measure the amount of force applied.
The three bridges in each age category that withstood the most force won prizes for their builders.
