WWU, Sehome students compete in bridge-building contest
Engineering students from Western Washington University competed in a cardboard bridge-building competition with ninth-grade students from Sehome High School in the Viking Union Multipurpose Room this morning.
The WWU students, in a surprise set up by associate professor Jason Morris, did not know the Sehome students would be at the competition.
Roughly 60 WWU students (21 teams) and 100 Sehome students (10 teams) entered bridges in the contest. Each bridge had to span 4 feet and support a rolling toy truck from one end to the other without collapsing.
