The IBS Build-A-Bridge Challenge is an annual bridge building event for high school students across The Bahamas. It is our way to inspire excitement about engineering and the applied sciences. Student teams and their science teachers enter the competition free of charge and receive a kit containing the necessary materials to design and build bridges for the competition.
We feel that it is a small investment in the future of our country.Students who participate in the Challenge learn the value of teamwork and partnership while gaining an interest in the practical uses of science. The event was started in 2008 and continues to be a success because of the private and public sector support, local media support and the hard-working volunteers who plan and work at the competition. The IBS team is very proud of the fact that the Build-A-Bridge Challenge is endorsed by The Ministry of Education, The Ministry of Youth, Sports & Culture, The Ministry of Works and The Bridge Authority.
