Fourth-year student Keiara Raitt grew up in a hockey family, hitting the ice for the first time at the age of four. Now, seventeen years later, she not only skates with the precision of a seasoned athlete but also navigates the rigorous demands of an architectural engineering program at the University of Waterloo.
This April, the @waterloosteelbridge team represented Canada in the American Society of Civil Engineers Competition in Troy, NY. Amidst fierce competition the team constructed a bridge that would go over a river in just 25.5 minutes, all while adhering to strict guidelines and problem statement.
The team excelled this year and won the following awards:
2nd in Cost Estimation
2nd in Aesthetics
3rd in Stiffness
3rd in Structural Efficiency
They are now set on the upcoming competition in Quebec City from May 8-12, where they aim to overcome last year’s 4th place finish and shoot for a spot on the podium. 💪🏆
Congratulations & we wish you the best of luck in May!
