Making a splash

Middle schoolers build and race cardboard boats

Dozens of parents gathered at SafeSplash SwimLabs to watch junior engineering students make a splash and race their cardboard boats across the pool on Monday. Chris Rogers, a teacher at Woodland Middle School provides a fun opportunity for his junior engineering students. He gives his seventh and eighth grade students a chance to build boats out of cardboard and duct tape, and put their lessons into a practical project.
