Participants in the Mississippi Summer Transportation Institute test how much weight their bridges made from popsicle sticks can hold. The two-week residential camp, a partnership between MSU's Richard A. Rula School of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Mississippi Department of Transportation, exposes high school students from across the state to careers in transportation and engineering.
