"Let's talk about bridges this week," Steve said, "which are rare combinations of engineering and beauty."
"And in many places, old and poorly maintained for modern needs," Tony added, making a face. "Much of the infrastructure we know in this country was built in the aftermath of World War 2 and remains mostly unchanged."
Let that sink in.
"No wonder I recognize a lot of them," Steve said, "but that's not a good thing."
"So, we're going to design a bridge to withstand modern traffic," Tony said. "It'll be a project for you all to build a model one to present next week."
"We have machines for you to use that will test the integrity against wind, weight on top of them, and being hit from below," Steve said. "They're more fragile than you think."
"Bonus points for style," Tony added.
