OC’s Spaghetti Bridge Building Contest

The Spaghetti Bridge Building Contest was first held in 1980, but then not again until 1984 when it became an annual event and the Heavyweight contest was introduced. Over the years students from not only the Okanagan, BC and Canada have competed, but also students from the Netherlands, Iran and Hungary.
The 38th annual Spaghetti Bridge Building competition will be held at Okanagan College, Kelowna Campus on Friday, March 3, 2023.
Students are encouraged to enter the Post Secondary or Secondary school competitions where cash prizes are given for the lightest bridge that supports a predetermined weight. Bridges are built in advance and tested on the day of the competition.
For those who like to work in teams, try the Team Building Competition. All supplies and the rules are supplied on the day of the competition, and teams have two hours to complete the task. Cash prizes will be awarded for the most successful teams.
Please note: team builders are not permitted to bring any tools, templates, glue etc. to the competition.
