ASCE Minnesota Section members recently organized an engaging STEM outreach event on 8th May, 2025 at University of Saint Thomas for 3rd to 5th grade students from local public elementary schools. The hands-on activity gave students the opportunity to collaborate with their teachers to design and construct bridges using toothpicks. Once completed, the bridges were tested for efficiency, sparking curiosity and creativity while introducing students to basic engineering principles in a fun and interactive way.
