Popsicle Bridge Masterpiece
This album highlights the Popsicle Stick Bridge that I entered into the Seattle ASCE Younger Member Forum’s Popsicle Stick Bridge Competition in 2009. This particular entry swept all first place prizes in every category: efficiency, aesthetics, and poster. It’s 30 inches long, 11 inches tall, 5 inches wide, weighs just under 347 grams (0.77 pounds), is made out of only white birch Popsicle Sticks and Elmer’s White Glue, and it held 993 pounds before breaking (1300 times its own weight).
