Volunteer Request for RooBuilders Competition

Volunteers needed for RooBuilders Competition!

RooBuilders is a high school and middle school basswood bridge building competition where students design, build, and test their customized bridge. At this event, students learn about structural engineering, teamwork, and career paths. We are seeking judges to evaluate the student’s submitted videos and model bridges for specification criteria and then load testing their bridges. Roobuilders is a rewarding volunteer experience through meeting students and discussing basic engineering principles with them.
