Three local students and their teacher built this bridge last year as a school project.
I met them at a recent school-to-work/career/technical education conference. After talking with the students, I commented to a colleague, “These kids learned more through this project than I did in graduate school.”
Real world projects that tap higher order thinking skills. An example of expressive capital.
More information and pictures available here.
UPDATE: You can vote for this project to be showcased on Madison television by visiting http://www.channel3000.com/wisctv/14544662/detail.html and selecting the Wisconsin Covered Bridges project.

John – Thanks for putting the Bridge project on your web site and the link to the pictures and story. I will share this with the students. Will let you know when we start the second bridge for the Darlington community. Looks like you are as addicted to technology as I am about building stuff.
Hope to learn more from you in the future. Dick
