Huge shoutout to our incredible LAE Bridge STEM Club!
These young engineers showed up to the fair and absolutely DOMINATED bringing home 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place… AND cash prizes!
From design to testing, their hard work, teamwork, and creativity truly paid off. Watching them problem-solve, build, and push through challenges was what real engineering is all about.
So proud of each and every one of you the future is BRIGHT (and structurally sound )!
