Saint Peter Public Schools

North Elementary fourth grade students had some representatives from MnDOT (Minnesota Department of Transportation) visit with them recently about what some of the careers are within MnDOT and what the agency is responsible for within the state of Minnesota. 

The MnDOT reps also talked about some local bridges and the shapes used within those bridges. After the presentation, the students had a chance to work together in three groups to build a bridge. Each of the fourth-grade classes had a 50-minute slot to do this activity. Here are some photos courtesy of Ms. Zitur of her class’s session with the MnDOT reps.
