Let's Build Boats

Help me give my students materials they need to design a cardboard boat!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Wirts Pelayo's classroom raised $391

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students want a project-based learning environment where they are given the opportunity to learn the subject matter in-depth and hands-on. What if you were asked to build a boat that could hold both you and your partner made only of cardboard and packing tape? Archimedes knew this would be possible and all 100 of my students will face this challenge as we study the Physics of matter, density, mass, Archimedes principle, and center of gravity. Each concept adds insights needed to design a successful cardboard boat.

My students want an unforgettable learning experience that allows them to transform their learning into a unique boat design and an unforgettable adventure.

In order to complete this project, we need tape to make these cardboard boats a reality.
