STIIX Boat Project

• Grades: K-8
• Number of Students: 8-24, 15-45
• Hours of Content: 2-4

Highlights:

Explore Concepts & Careers around BOATS before building / testing one of your own!

Objective: 
Students will apply concepts of buoyancy, stability, and material science to design, build, and test a cargo boat capable of holding maximum weight while remaining afloat.

Set in the portside city of STIIX-Ville, students are tasked with creating a vessel to support the growing shipping demands of the town. Through this hands-on challenge, students will investigate displacement, design efficiency, and problem-solving, while documenting their build process and reflecting on the performance of their prototype.
