More than 200 high-school students from across the region gathered at Okanagan College for the institution’s annual spaghetti bridge-building competition, a long-running event designed to test students’ engineering skills using only pasta and glue.

Students were given two hours to design and construct bridges made entirely of spaghetti. Each structure had to span half a metre, measure no more than 200 millimetres tall and support a one-kilogram weight for at least one minute without breaking… the lightest structure would be declared the winner….
… winners of the competition will move on to the provincial championship later this year where they will compete to build the strongest spaghetti bridge in B.C.
