Boat Design Competition

Design Your Own Boat

• Speed – who can design and build the fastest boat and compete in a series or races
• Cargo – we will give you 8kg of cargo for you to safely deliver from port to port
• Seaworthiness – with simulated waves, how well will your boat survive a perilous crossing
• Survivability – oh no there’s a hole in your boat! The winner is the one who can stay afloat the longest!
• Cost – when you build your boat you will be given materials – each material carries a cost, who can make the most cost efficient design?

The first day of this workshop we will build our model boats using various craft materials in a classroom setting. The second day is competition day with a prize up for grabs for the overall winner! Lunch and snacks will be provided on both days.
