WDVM. “Students Test Engineering Skills with Spaghetti Bridges” By Kylie Khanhttps://www.localdvm.com/news/i-270/students-test-engineering-skills-with-spaghetti-bridges/1313210388
ROCKVILLE, Md. – Dozens of Montgomery County high school students culminated a four week engineering camp Friday with a test of strength.
Friday, about 40 students tested out bridges they built from spaghetti. It was part of the Johns Hopkins University Engineering Imagination program. The winning bridge held about 22 pounds. Officials say they hope this inspires some teens to pursue a stem career, a field with many openings.
“It helped me see more about electrical, mechanical, and other parts of engineering that I wouldn’t otherwise have known,” said Spencer Schenk, whose team won the competition.
There are 12 other locations around the country that participate in the Engineering Innovation camp.
a summer program for kids is introducing high school students to engineering and physics in a unique way. since 2006 johns hopkins university has sponsored the program called car be loading. more than 500 participants. i willical membership ates in a competition about who can build the strongest bridge out of spa gety and a pocks pocksi glue. >> laying out all the joints and making sure that — and gluing them together properly so they don’t break. >> the winning bridge held 14 kill grams. that’s almost 31 pounds of weight before it collapsed. some of the students said they are actually looking into a career in engineering in the future.

tonight’s spotlight on education involves spaghetti. a spaghetti bridge to be exact. students around the region to part in a competition. the goal is to see who is bridge made of dried spaghetti is the strongest. weight is added to the bridges until they shatter. >> into beginning, i feel like many students are afraid of science and technology because they are afraid of failure. what if i fail? what if it does not do well? what if i do not do well? right? i tried to teach them getting involved is the most important idea. when you are involved and engaged, miracles can happen. alison: what a fun way to get involved. the local competition is one of 12 around the country involving 500 students. the event is the culmination of a four-week engineering program sponsored by johns hopkins university. -
