STEM Boat Challenge


Ahoy Mateys! Grab your Captain’s hat as you let your imagination run wild in this fun activity that challenges you to build a boat with things around the house, then put your boat to the test as you try to find out will it sink or float? 

STEM activities like this one allow kids to practice skills in varying subjects such as science and engineering. Allowing their imagination to take the lead on this project promotes innovation and creativity.

Here’s a list of things your kids may want:

  • Bottles
  • Aluminum foil
  • Sandwich bags
  • Corks
  • Straws
  • Rubber bands
  • Duct Tape
  • Toothpicks
  • Boxes
  • Scissors
