Popsicle Stick Bridge Competition

Welcome Bridge Builders to the 29th Annual Popsicle Stick Bridge Competition Season!

Thank you for your interest in the 29th annual Popsicle Stick Bridge Competition! The 2024 Competition will be held IN-PERSON at the Museum of Flight on Saturday, March 16th, 2024!

This is an opportunity for high school students to challenge themselves with a real-world application of math and science through an engineering exercise of building a strong, light, and aesthetically pleasing bridge using only popsicle sticks and white glue. On contest day, bridges will be loaded to see if any are left standing!

See the 2024 Building Code for official rules and bridge requirements.

If you have any questions, please contact the 2024 PSB Coordinator at psb@seattleasce.org. We are anticipating an exciting, fun-filled event this year with many beautiful and creative bridges!
