Lincoln-Way students compete in annual bridge building competition Submitted by Lincoln-Way District 210 Every year, students at all three Lincoln-Way schools build a model bridge and test its strength in the annual Bridge Building Competition. The schools participated the week of Dec. 9. Students were given a kit with 15 twofoot pieces of basswood and specifications for this year’s contest. Then, using glue, they design unique concepts and test its strength by seeing how much weight it will hold before it breaks. The bridge with the highest structural efficiency wins. Efficiency is determined by dividing the mass held by the mass of the bridge. The contest is open to all students, but the majority are those in physics and engineering classes. The top four winners from each school will go on to compete in the regional contest at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago on Jan. 28. The top two in that competition will represent the region in the international contest in spring 2020. The top four from Lincoln-Way Central were Kenneth Harris, Kaitlyn Bittner, Hannah Luming, and Matt Stillman. The top four from Lincoln-Way East were Jacob Falejczyk, Jackson Seida, Tori Entwistle, and Davey Fitzpatrick. The top four from Lincoln-Way West were Sydney Swanberg, Isabel Tuckett, Dylan Wasilewski, and Carly Kaiser.
