Samuel Fels High School (March 2023)

On March 15, 2023 ASCE Philadelphia YMF visited Samuel Fels High School to give a presentation on Civil Engineering to a computer science class. Following the presentation on the various disclipines of civil engineering, the students worked in groups to design, build, and test straw bridges. They were surprised to see how many pennies their bridges were able to hold. The bridges held an impressive weight, and were able to demonstrate to the students how bridge design works.
