Students from schools across the Key, Kitsap and Olympic peninsulas displayed their engineering skills during the 2024 Navy Bridge Building Challenge, which culminated with live-load testing at the U.S. Naval Undersea Museum May 4, 2024. The annual competition challenges K-12th grade students to research, design and construct lightweight, one-of-a-kind bridges capable of holding as much weight as possible. Various methods were used to load the bridges, from piling them with rolls of pennies (for smaller paper bridges) or gym plates (for sturdier wood bridges), to stressing them with strain gauges in lieu of physical weights.
