Meet BRICO team to discuss the opportunity!
Introduction event starts May 14, 12:00 - 12:30 PM, at RTU, 6A Kipsalas street, room 135.
BRICO is an international student steel bridge competition taking place in Tallinn University of Technology. The event is organized by students of the university and is the largest of its kind in Europe. BRICO 2024 is a sixth of the series and will be taking place on 16 - 20 september 2024.
Our mission is to create an opportunity for students from all over the world to come together and compare each other’s engineering knowledge and skills in a competitive yet friendly atmosphere. We hope to contribute to diverse engineering education.
BRICO challenges its participants to model and construct a steel bridge that aspires to be as optimized as possible. During the competition week in Tallinn, the bridges will be weighed, load-tested under 1000 kg for deflection, and put together from scratch as quickly as possible. The architectural value of the bridge will be judged by a panel consisting of premier Estonian architects, University faculty, and sponsors of the competition. The fierce competition is complemented by the organized social program of field trips, sight-seeing, and events where the competitors have a chance to relax and form lasting connections with other participants.
Prizes:
I place – 2000€
II place – 1500€
III place – 1000€
Special awards (aesthetics, weight, speed of assembly) – 500€ each.
6 ECTS for all student participants.
