🚢🏆 Engineering Challenge Accepted! 🏆🚢
Rising 4th graders in Mrs. Woods', Ms. Stewart's and Ms. Gochee's classes at #EakinElementarySchool's Summer Learning Camp put their engineering skills to the test with a boat-building challenge this week!
Using only aluminum foil, #students designed and built boats that could float while holding as much weight as possible. They then tested their creations in water, adding linking cubes to see which design could hold the most weight before sinking.💧
The competition was fierce, and the winning boat held an impressive 51 linking cubes! 🎉👏
Through hands-on learning and problem solving, students explored engineering concepts while putting their creativity and critical thinking skills to work. 🚀✨
