High School Students Build Kayaks
Mr. Wood's Pre-Engineering class completed the "Building a Kayak Case Study” as their structural engineering unit. They had to make a 10 foot kayak out of PVC tubing, Zip-ties and Shrink Wrap. It had to withstand a 40 foot paddle without sinking or flipping over. The students were split up into groups based on the Dr. Roger Taylor method. The groups of students had to use the IDEAL problem solving method to complete the case study. All three squads were successful in the building and paddling of their Kayaks.
