Warren eighth grade Pre-Engineering students participated in an engineering design challenge where the students had to design a cardboard canoe, measure and construct a model, then measure and create a cardboard canoe to be raced at the Apple Canyon Lake pool. Teacher Sara Robbe had the students calculate the surface area of the canoe, total weight of canoe, total cost of cardboard and total cost of the duct tape. These calculations helped them determine how far in the water the canoe would sink and how much weight their craft would hold. Students were only allowed to use corrugated cardboard and duct tape.
