On November 22nd, DTU held the awarding ceremony for the 2nd “Building a Bridge across the Milky way” Competition which attracted a lot of students in Danang area to attend.
A lot of high school students participate the competition
The 2nd “Building a Bridge across the Milky way” competition attracted 79 teams in Danang region, 54 of which came from senior high schools. Using 100 fir chopsticks, 2 bottles of glue, a reel of thread, ruler, paper-knife and small saw blade, in only 3 hours, contestants design beautiful bridges models with good loading capacity.
The Organizers award First prize to the BLUE team
Dr. Nguyen The Duong, Dean of DTU Faculty of Civil Engineering, said: “I found that there is a clear difference in modeling the bridges between teams of senior high schools and those of universities. As you may know, students of Architecture and Civil Engineering have had basic knowledge of composition that will definitely enable them to design high loading capacity bridges with reasonable cost. The 2nd 'Building a Bridge across the Milky way' competition saw the participation of many teams from senior high schools which demonstrated the quality and prestige of the competition, meeting the demands of those who like Architecture and Construction.”
To encourage participating teams, the Organizers awarded prizes for two groups – group of senior high school students and group of university students. For group of university students, the Organizers awarded a First prize to the BLUE team of K20XDC including To Duy Khanh, Nguyen Tien Dat and Cao Van Duc; a Second prize came to K19CSU team including Ho Dac Dinh and Nguyen Huu Anh Thang; the TCTL- K20CSU XDD team, including Nguyen Van Thanh Tai, Dong Thanh Trung, Nguyen Hoang Cong and Nguyen Dang Lam, won a Third prize.
