Participants will design and test boats using a variety of materials to see how much weight they can hold without sinking. Once a seaworthy design is complete, guests will add sails to harness wind power and navigate across the water. The final challenge puts engineering skills to the test as participants create paddlewheel systems to race their boats in friendly competition. 

You will discover: 

-How design and materials impact buoyancy and stability
