After weeks of work to build the most efficient model bridges, Ste. Genevieve High School SkillsUSA students put their bridges to the test on Dec. 9, 2021, at the MoDOT’s 18th Annual Bridge Building Competition. The SGHS team earned fourth place out of 26 schools, and junior Braden Huck’s bridge earned 8th place overall!
The competition challenges high school juniors and seniors to design and construct the most efficient model bridge using limited materials—15 pieces of balsa wood, thread and glue.
