Problem Statement


  • Design a Bridge using Popsicle sticks (ice-cream sticks) satisfying the stated constraints


    • Conditions:


  • Eligibility: Open to B.E. / B. Tech and Polytechnic level students only. Unleash your academic knowledge and put it to the test in a fun and practical way!

  • Material: Channel your inner MacGyver! You'll be provided with the essential tools: Popsicle sticks, adhesive, and a cutter. Bridge dimensions will be revealed at the competition, so bring your strategic thinking A-game. (Don't forget your own scale, pencil, eraser, and pen - they'll be your trusty allies!)

  • Team Power: Teamwork makes the dream work! Collaborate with up to 3 fellow engineers to brainstorm, design, and build the ultimate popsicle stick bridge. Remember, communication and teamwork are key!
