Congo Camp 2010

The beginning stages of the bridges.

Living near DC, we all know just how important bridges can be to get to and from work, museums, and other sites in our Nation's capital. 

But, as we drive over them, we may forget that Engineers helped to design and construct these magnificent structures.  Our Young Engineers were working on bridges today to see just how to construct effective ones.

Each bridge was made of popsicle sticks and each camper had to plan out exactly the best way to build the bridge.  The designs were reminiscent of traditional bridges and we can't wait until the campers have finished their bridges.

Someday, these Young Engineers may just be building the next bridge to get you to work.
