• Have your team build a homemade boat that can float a 24pk of pop without getting the pop wet.
• The craft will be scored based on Creativity, Design, and Seaworthiness.
• Boats should be homemade and not pre-made boats bought at a store.
• No tacks, straight pins or crepe paper can be used.
• No Breakable items can be used and any craft may be rejected if contamination or damage to the river is possible.
• Boats will need to be guided by a member of your team who is in the water through the Lazy River at Grove Cove, which is 3½ feet deep.  The boat must survive the whole river.  No motors.
• Both cube and rectangular 24 packs of pop will be supplied.  You will not be able to ride your craft, for safety reasons.
