Robbins Recreation Center hosting Bridging the Triad

Explore STEM programming and put your engineering skills up against others from around the Triad! Bridging the Triad is a FREE event, designed to get kids and adults interested and engaged through a bridge building contest. All supplies and instructions are provided at no cost, and kids and adults can showcase their ingenuity, creativity, and engineering skills as they build a bridge using only 100 popsicle sticks and Elmer's glue. How much will your bridge hold?

Pick up your packet and instructions at the Robbins Recreation Center starting on January 14, and compete at your local event on February 5. Participants will build their bridge, and bring it to the Robbins Recreation Center between 10:00 and 1:00. The bridges will be tested for their strength to see how much weight it will hold until breaking. Top bridges will qualify to move on to regional finals held on February 26, and compete for a shot at glory! Check out the event on Facebook for more details!

Pro tip – The whole family can participate! Parents? Prove to your kids that you are smarter than them....Kids? You can prove your parents wrong!!
