Bussinger Wins Nebraska Model Bridge Contest
The Distance Learning Physics Class, with students from Ainsworth and Rock County high schools, attended the 41st annual Nebraska Model Bridge Contest on Saturday, February 22, 2020 at the Edgerton Explorit Center in Aurora, Nebraska. Bridges were judged for best construction and most unique design prior to being tested to determine their efficiency. Efficiency is determined by dividing the weight the bridge held by the actual weight of the bridge. Sloan Raymond’s bridge held 45.8 pounds for an efficiency of 915, placing eleventh. Victor Carranza’s bridge held 60.5 pounds for an efficiency of 1120, placing eighth. Brendan Bussinger’s bridge held 92.7 pounds for an efficiency of 1812, placing first to win the state contest. He received a trophy, cash prize and an engineering scholarship to UNL. He is eligible to rebuild his bridge to enter it in the International Contest on Saturday, May 9th in Chicago. Team scores were also kept for each participating school. Ainsworth placed fourth and Rock County placed seventh.
