Will you sink or float?

Ready? Set? Sail!

In this three-part workshop teams build their very own 3D Printed Boat. We start off by discussing what makes a boat float and work together on a starter design. Teams are given time to work on their boat with assistance from me, and then we compete- sail boats are propelled by wind in a rain gutter and the fastest time wins! The winners take home 3D printed trophies. 

This workshop is designed for families to participate in and work together, although teams of any kind are welcome! The competitive aspect of this program tends to unite teams and build comradery as you learn engineering principles and a new technological skill. As always, no prior knowledge required!
