This hands-on workshop promises to be great fun. Bridges are something that engineers working for Kier build a lot of.  The aim will be to work in teams to build a bridge using a range of materials.  The bridges are then put through their paces, testing their durability using a variety of weights.  The team that builds the strongest bridge will be the winner.  The judges will also be looking at other skills, such as team work, communication and leadership.
