This exciting event, now in its 24th year, is an incredible opportunity for high school students across Summit County to showcase their engineering skills, creativity, and teamwork in a fun and competitive environment.
What Is the MBBC?
The Miniature Bridge Building Competition is designed to inspire and challenge high school students interested in engineering. Participants will work in teams to design and construct miniature bridges using materials provided by the competition. These bridges will be tested for structural efficiency, creativity, and adherence to design criteria.

It fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration—skills that are essential in engineering and so many other fields.
