*** Bridge Designer has been replaced with the web app ASCE Bridge Designer, Cloud Edition (Google this term to find the app)! Binaries posted here will go away on 1 July 2026. The source repo will remain. The contest is no longer active. ***
A national virtual bridge engineering contest with prizes for middle and high school kids, grades 6 to 12, but anyone can enter for fun. Based on the award-wining Bridge Designer client software, now open source through this project.

Thanks to JetBrains for this mega development environment!
