  • Bridge Street Ministries first ever STEM Lab…

    Executive Director, Bridge Street Ministries

    32 years ago I took part in my middle school Science Olympiad team and learned that the triangle was one of the strongest shapes that I could use when building my balsa wood model bridge. And that simple experience was one of the catalytic events that set me on a path to becoming a licensed civil engineer. Today, I am thrilled to be able to create this same experience and opportunity for our Resrugence kids in our first ever STEM lab. These kids had the opportunity get a taste for a bridge building competition. Next week we will do a classic egg drop challenge and mouse trap car race. Then on to three weeks of the engineering design, build, test, refine process before a community showcase and competition. These kids are our future, and some of them may be our next engineers. #HighPotentilYouth #STEM #Engineering
