Eighth graders at Mastery East Camden Middle School are poised to get first-hand knowledge on how the area’s largest bridges have been built and maintained.

The Delaware River Port Authority [DRPA] Tuesday, in partnership with the middle school, launched its new Youth Exploration program [YEP] called “Bridges to the Future.”

The six-week pilot program is aimed to get the middle schoolers interested in pursuing careers in transportation, bridges, engineering and safety industry.

Students in the program will participate in hands-on STEAM-focused activities lead by DRPA professionals in various fields, such as building solar-powered cars and model bridges. In addition to the hands-on experience, students will gain knowledge of various careers in the transportation industry.
