In this week’s Tech Tuesday, UF Innovate’s host Bethany Gaffey introduces Damian Blanco from the UF Steel Bridge team. This student-led group designs and constructs competition bridges, focusing on speed, strength, and efficiency.

“Think you can build a bridge in five minutes? We’re here with the UF Steel Bridge team to learn more Damian, tell us about who you are and what you do at Steel Bridge?” asked Gaffey.

“I am a fourth-year civil engineering major. I’m currently the 2024-2025 project manager at Steel Bridge. My job this year is to manage a project, make sure that we run on time and keep everything moving smoothly,” said Damian Blanco, project manager at UF Steel Bridge.
