The Younger Member Forum of the American Society of Civil Engineers (Seattle Section) invites you to our 15th Annual Popsicle Stick Bridge Competition. The competition will be held on February 13th, 2010 at the Museum of Flight in Seattle. Please find the attach flyer and feel free to print it out and hang it in your classrooms or forward it to any one else who may be interested.
Three teams of up to four students may be sent to represent their high school in this competition. Last year, the strongest qualifying bridge held 993 pounds consisting of only popsicle sticks and Elmer's glue!! We encourage all types of bridges to come out to the competition (as long as they comply to our set of rules). As incentive, we give all participants a free competition t-shirt, a free pass to the Museum of Flight and a certificate for participation. Additionally, we give out all kinds of prizes for excellence in bridge building such as iPod shuffles, North Face backpacks, Mariner's tickets, graphing calculators and many more.
We will also be having a Poster Competition again this year and a $500 scholarship opportunity for high school seniors!!
Please let us know if you're interested by replying to this email and providing the following information:
School Name
Team Advisor/School Contact Info
Contact Phone
Contact Email
We will let you know when the rules become finalized, rule clarifications, and anything else that comes up. We will send the popsicle sticks to you for free, and if interested, we may be able to send a young practicing engineer to your school to make a short presentation about the competition and offer their experience on how to pursue a career in engineering. We look forward to seeing you at the competition in February!

Hey everyone -- I sent you something previously about the Popsicle Stick Bridge competition done by the ASCE YMF for high schoolers... they consider ACE a "school" so any team can participate (and enter multiple "teams" of students).
Contact Amanda or Ardel if you want to be involved... or if you have questions about what this all means...
