Middle and high school students across the state are gearing up for the North Carolina Department of Transportation's Model Bridge Building Competition. Registration is open now through November 20th. The competition isn't until next Spring, so that gives groups plenty of time to brainstorm ideas, design a diagram and construct a model bridge. Mac McKee speaks with the Model Bridge Building Coordinator Gail Herring about the annual event which inspires students to explore the connect between the classroom and real world applications.
