Cargo Boat Engineering Bundle: Budget and Calculating Area STEM Challenges
In this engineering design STEM challenge, students will use & apply science and math concepts to their cargo boat design. This simple, yet complex, engineering design challenge will task students to build an aluminum foil boat that can hold the most amount of cargo/mass (pennies) possible. In the first challenge, there is a constraint of the amount of aluminum foil students can use, therefore, they will have to calculate the area of a rectangular piece of foil that they choose to use to ma
