Delaware’s Department of Transportation celebrated the conclusion of its seventh annual bridge design challenge, which brought together nearly 400 students from schools statewide to Polytech High School on Friday, May 1, 2026.
The competition drew participation from 130 teams representing 397 students across 27 educational institutions throughout Delaware. Students spent the entire day engaged in practical engineering challenges designed to foster enthusiasm for mathematics, science, and engineering career paths.
This annual event serves as both an educational opportunity and a recruitment tool, encouraging young minds to consider future professions in technical fields that are crucial to Delaware’s infrastructure development and maintenance.
