Dates: Tuesday, February 18 – Thursday, February 20

Time: 9:00 am – 4:00 pm
 

Beam, truss, arch, suspension, and moveable bridges support weight and span great distances. Students will learn about these different bridge types through interactive discussions and activities. Students will then use 3D design software to create bridges of their own design.  

Students will need to bring their own laptop and charging cord with Windows 11 or 10 or Mac OS 13+ (Ventura), 12+ (Monterey) and 11+ (Big Sur) for this class. Students can bring their own mouse or CFA will provide a wired mouse for student use. Students will be sent a link to download the free SketchUp trial software prior to the first day of class. Students with Chromebooks can use the free web-based SketchUp software. Tablets and phones cannot be used for this program. Please check your system requirements here.
