Members of the Physics Club, under the direction of Mr. Joseph Borosky, participated in a Bridge Building Competition on March 16 at North Pocono High School. Connor Dutter, Dylan Ofner, and Adrianna Gigliotti built a bridge made out of basswood, which is very light and delicate. Their bridge had to weigh less than 25 grams. When they got to the competition, a weight was applied to the bridge until it was no longer safe to apply weight.
“It was fun for me- I enjoyed building it and applying what I learned in class to a real-world scenario,” explained Dutter.
The students will compete at the Hayes Physics Competition on April 18 at the University of Scranton.
