This exciting contest was held on November 10, 1999 with 27 teams participating. The goal of the contest was to produce the most efficient bridge constructed solely with spaghetti and white carpenter's glue. Teams came from all faculties with science and architectural students represented in equal numbers. The builders held their breath in anticipation as greater and greater loads were affixed to their bridges. As the bridges collapsed, the looks of disappointment on the owners' faces were obvious but a good time was had by all - the crowd in the audience as well the participants. The Learning Centre would like to thank the judges, Don Hetherington, Mike Cowan and Hode Erdogan, as well as our MC, Mimi Cooper, and the scorekeepers, Steve Rosenfield and Jacqui Paull.
