WFS Students Showcase Engineering Excellence at DelDOT Bridge Competition

Congratulations to Nora Abd El Kader ’27, Charlie Kurz ’27, Scarlett Murphy ’27, and Nya Parker ’27 for representing WFS at the 2026 Delaware Department of Transportation Bridge Competition held at Polytech High School!
 
This hands-on engineering competition challenged students to address real-world transportation and civil engineering problems through research, CAD design work, presentations, and the construction of a Tied-Arch (Bowstring) Bridge model made from balsa wood. Their bridge successfully withstood 21 pounds of load during testing on competition day!

Special thanks to WFS computer science teacher Nicholas Ordway for guiding the team throughout the competition process.
