Model Bridge Building Competition
The NCDOT Statewide Model Bridge Building Competition gives students an opportunity to learn problem-solving strategies and utilize critical thinking skills, while making the connection between what is taught in the classroom and real world applications. Working in teams, students will look at the methods of brainstorming ideas, designing a diagram, constructing the model and will have the satisfaction of presenting the results of their ideas to a panel of judges. This competition is a collaborative effort between NCDOT, students and teachers who will work together to exchange ideas and build cooperation.
