Grade 7 students from Light of Christ Catholic Schools in North Battleford took part in the Skills Canada Cardboard Boat Race June 2.
The challenge has become a popular event and this year more than 100 LOCCS students had the opportunity to test their building and problem solving skills. In teams, the students were challenged to design, construct and race a cardboard boat across the Battlefords Co-op Aquatic Center swimming pool.
Students had to adhere to strict rules and regulations and use only materials supplied.
This fun, interactive "hands-on" activity can be linked to classroom curriculum concepts, such as buoyancy, water displacement and research and design.
Following the race, students had a great time in the wave pool and waterslide.
