CURRICULUM

The Student Impact Project curriculum spans eight weeks and guides students from design and construction to the final presentation of original to-scale model bridges.

Teams select a bridge design scenario for which they compete to
win a "design contract." Teams design and build a model bridge
and present their bridge design with a written essay and oral
presentation to a panel of judges at the end of the process.
Entries are judged and given a cummulative score for
artistic design, written and oral presentation, and
design integrity and solution.
