STEM: Build a better bridge

This bridge was the starting design for students to improve upon as part of a public schools STEM project lead by a public and private partnership between the:

  1. the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (https://www.erdc.usace.army.mil/)
  2. the Jordan Valley Innovation Center (https://jvic.missouristate.edu/case/nanotechnology-initiative/); and
  3. Brewer Science (https://www.brewerscience.com/).

The goal was to make students aware of CAD software, 3D printing, nanomaterials, sensing, environmental sustainability, 3D printing and ultimately science and technology occupations.
