In the summer of 2014 I attended a summer camp designed for incoming college freshmen. This camp had all sorts of engineering projects and challenges for students, one of which was designing the strongest and most efficient balsa wood bridge. I went overboard on this project, by taking the time to model it in Autodesk Inventor, and using a native FEA solver to look for stress concentrations. The bridge took first place and held just over 200 pounds.
