<![CDATA[Startup House Cardboard Boat Regatta]]>
Startup House students create teams and each team must build a boat out of cardboard and duct tape. The boat must hold two crew members while it makes its way across the Campus Recreation Center Pool.- Any thickness of corrugated cardboard is permitted. But waxed cardboard, carpet tubes and barrels are not allowed.
- Styrofoam or any other flotation-type foam is a major "no-no." Violators will be branded "Barnacles" and stripped of any trophies.
Awards are under development now, but categories might include:
- Admiral's Pride, Fastest Finish
- Gear Head Award, Best science or physics involved in designing the boat, floatability and movement in water, and/or innovative & unique design
- Titanic Award, Most Spectacular Sink!
Crew costumes are not required, but encouraged. We welcome all alums, students, faculty and staff to join us in this crazy, fun activity!
