How can we work together

We would love to come visit your school career fair and talk to students about the various training programs we have available and how they can get into the field of construction.

We are also looking to set up credit bearing extended learning opportunities and would love to speak with ELO coordinators to see how we can work together.

  • Bridge UP! curriculum

    The Bridge UP! curriculum provides free classroom resources for teachers using bridge design and construction principles as the foundation for learning. Most materials needed for the lesson plan activities are common classroom/household items.

    Classroom activities are designed to help bring students closer to the everyday work of engineers and construction workers. MnDOT hopes the Bridge UP! curriculum will get students excited about real-work transportation planning, design and construction, and to inspire them to pursue engineering or science as a career.
