Toothpick Bridge Building Event

The goal of Toothpick Bridge Building event is to design and build a bridge type structure in one of two categories: Toothpick Category and Open-Materials Category.   After entrants have designed and built their bridges, the event provides a convenient, fun-filled place to test them and see how well they work.

This is open to everyone.  Students, parents, sponsoring engineers, and teachers are welcome to submit bridges.  Each entrant will receive a certificate with the results of the bridge test, an event T-shirt, and other interesting stuff that will hopefully introduce students to a career in engineering.
