Making Mountains Out of Macaroni
posted (October 25, 2018)
And while the Little Library is on the church grounds on Regent Street - across town, at ITVET, UB's Macaroni bridge makers spent all day completing their designs. We are talking about the engineering students who compete every year at the Macaroni Structural Competition in Chetumal. We dropped by to see how their designs were coming along.
Tomorrow the students get to test their bridge designs. 3 of the top teams with the best designs will compete in the competition on November 14th to the 16th. But when they get over in Chetumal they have to start from scratch. They have 12 hours to complete the design, then they are judged and the winners are announced. UB's team won 1st place in 2016 so we hope they get anther win this year.
