Congratulations to Youngstown Rayen Early College High School scholars Jared and Aiden for placing second in the Mahoning Valley Mini Bridge Building Competition (MVMBBC)! Jared and Aiden represented YREC, joining 13 other high schools and 26 teams across the Valley.
According to the MVMBBC website, “During the morning of the event, students will construct their bridges on site within the specified time according to competition specifications. After allowing for lunch and glue drying time, the bridges will be judged to meet design criteria and then load-tested until the structure fails. The winning bridge will be chosen based on meeting the design criteria and the most efficient load-carrying capacity to structure weight ratio. Other awards will also be presented for various aspects of civil engineering.”
