Engineers and Geoscientists BC Branch Popsicle Bridge Building Contests
As part of National Engineering and Geoscience Month [NEGM]; an annual celebration of engineering and geoscience across Canada, various Engineers and Geoscientists BC Branches organize and host popsicle bridge building competitions across the province of BC. The goal of these events are to promote the awareness of the engineering and geoscience professions, showcase career choices, and the many ways in which engineering and geoscience relate to our everyday life. Some great prizes are also available!NEGM competitions and activities happen during March every year.
