Balsawood Bridge

Starting on February 24th and through the beginning of March Balsawood Bridge will be touring to High Schools throughout Utah to test the balsawood bridges of the students. This is a large scale operation that will involve about 200 service hours and will require the assistance of 30-40 ASCE volunteers. See the link below for the sign up sheet for balsawood bridge testing times. We will need as much help as we can get. For each student involved, this activity should cover all of the service and activity hours since this is a very large time commitment (anywhere from 4-8 hours depending on the school).
