We would also like to thank our peers and professor, Dr Poh for the support and advice. Throughout the competition, we were able to apply what we have learnt into designing and fabricating the bridge, as well arkmanship and presentation skills. Though there were some difficulties faced in the process, we embraced them and take it in to fuel ourselves to improve in the near future. The overall experience was good and enriching, and we look forward to the next competition.”
