1) Design a truss bridge out of Popsicle sticks (ice cream sticks) or
balsa wood that meets the requirements.
2) On the day of the event, the structures will be put to the test
❖ Rules and Regulations of the event
1) Team size: Max. 3 members
2) Use material provided by the coordinating team.
3) Sticks can be altered physically by cutting or notching at any angle.
4) Threads can be used during construction, however, should not be
present in the final structure.
5) The load will be applied through a hook that connects a platform laid
upon the bridge’s span.
6) The platform will be the same for every team and placed in the
middle of the structure.
7) The bridge model will be loaded till failure.
❖ Judging Criteria
1) The efficiency will be calculated as the ultimate load capacity and
bridge weight ratio.
2) The bridge will be judged on how well the material has been used to
support the load.
3) The bridge will also be judged on its appearance.
4) Deflection Criteria (Depending on required arrangement available).
