LET’S BUILD A BRIDGE!

Working with the Rochester Bridge Trust, we are proud to be supporting ‘Let’s Build a Bridge!’, a free activity that challenges children to think like an engineer. The programme is aimed at children aged nine and over, and enables them to make practical use of what they have learned in the classroom by building a model bridge that is large enough for them to walk across. The activity is based on a concept by the Institution of Civil Engineers and supports the school curriculum, as well as encouraging confidence, logical thinking, problem solving, team participation skills and responsibility among the participants.

‘Let’s Build a Bridge!’ is an opportunity to educate school children on the challenge and enjoyment that can be found within the built environment. Through this initiative, we aim to close the skills gap and encourage future engineers into our industry whilst supporting the communities that we live and work within.
