Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) February 09, 2017 -- The Bureau of Reclamation is hosting high school students from across Colorado at its facility at the Denver Federal Center at the 50th Annual High School Bridge Building Competition.

The Colorado High School Bridge Building Contest is a statewide program aimed at providing interaction and communication among practicing engineers, high school students, and other professionals. This event enhances the appeal of engineering careers to high school students by establishing their relationships with the professional community.
