Cardboard Canoe Races



A homecoming tradition is the freshmen engineering student cardboard canoe races. It is a project for one of their classes. They build cardboard canoes and then two teams at a time, race across the lake on campus. I felt so bad for those that just got off shore and sank immediately. It is a graded project. At the end they have a demolition derby for the boats that made it across the lake. It was such a HOT afternoon this year that I'm sure those that sank didn't mind too much. We did find a spot under a shade tree to watch.
