This year SAICE had 22 teams from 11 schools enter their Bridge building competition. Due to COVID restrictions, the competition was held in a correspondence format whereby teams were issued with kits and would build the bridges in their own time. The bridges were collected and loaded on Saturday 14 August at the Zutari Building, in Century City. The competition was broadcast online https://fb.me/e/I9H1Gf0f
