The King's School....... future bridge builders??

Grade 11 learners, Kevin MacFarlane, Stephen Teichert, Candice-Lee Lockyear and Margie Mackechnie, from The King's School in Robin Hills, participated in the University of Witwatersrand's annual Civil Engineering Bridge Building Competition held on 17 March.

The task was to build a bridge that could support as much weight as possible. The only materials allowed were prescribed glue and twenty five 60cm sticks which had to span a distance of 65cm. The bridge (affectionately known as Bridget) was able to support 160.6kg, which won the competition. The group is very grateful for the generous cash prize contributed by the South African Institute of Civil Engineering.

Well done.... your teachers are proud of you!
