•College covered – 30
•Total number of group -170
•Total number of participant – 7
•BRIDGE IT
is an event that brings together hundreds of engineering students from
varied streams to participate in a full-day celebration. Young minds are
challenged to design and build a Popsicle stick bridge based upon given rules.
Students submit their designed structure and then their strength are tested
using standard loading machine or an equivalent.
•The competition is a fun way for students
to think critically, be innovative, learn to solve problems and to recognize
the importance of higher education.
SELECTION CRITERIA
1. Objective type question paper (1 for
each group) 15 questions.
Questions will be completely logical and brain teasing. If you can really just
wonder and feel the load, the way they acts on the bridge, here you are.
2.
Bridge making
•You have to make a bridge using Popsicle
sticks, cobbler thread and adhesive.
•The bridge constructed soon creatively,
with maximum load bearing and lesser number of sticks may be the winner (plus
OQP).
•As time is sufficient with you, bridge
with minimum sticks and maximum load will be the first preference.
•The bridge with attractive design (look)
may have bonus.
•Though if there is quite significant
difference in time of completion it will matter.
•Sufficient time will be allowed for glue
to freeze and stick properly.
•Other directions will be given at the
time accordingly.
Fees
200 INR/per group
Group - 2-4
Rules
•Team may consist of maximum 4 and minimum
2 members.
•Members may be from ANY BRANCH and ANY
INSTITUTE.
•Teams must bring their registration slip
during event.
•Team(s) may be disqualified in case of
misconduct or unacceptable behavior.\
•Dimensions of the bridge: length: 75cm-90cm, breadth: 10cm - 15cm, However there
will be flexibility in height of the bridge.
•Popsicle stick(400), adhesive (fevicol),
cobbler thread and paper pins could only be
used to make model provided by
organizers.
•No external
material will be allowed to use. In case used or found using, team(s) will be
disqualified immediately.
•Time limit would be 3 hours
for model making and including objective question paper.
•Loading-
At the centre
of the load bearing girder.
•Models must be made within given time; no
extra time will be given.
•Event organizer will not be responsible
in case of time clash with other event.
•Any damage during construction or before
evaluation, organizers will not be responsible
•Decision of judges will be final and
binding to all participants.
• No team member will interfere in Judge’s
decision.
•In case of tie, models will be analyzed
by judges and their decision will be final and
binding to all participants.
•Rules may subjected to change according
to circumstances.
•Materials (to be provided)
•Popsicle sticks (400)
•Adhesive i.e. fevicol
•Cobbler threads 1 m. in length.
•Requirement common for whole would be 2
hexagonal blades, pencils, rubbers.
