Concrete Canoe
What is Concrete Canoe?
Concrete Canoe is a competition where you have to prepare, design, and construct a canoe out of concrete to participate in a series of races against other schools. Teams have from August till the Carolina Symposium to have their canoe ready to sail the waters, There are many sub-teams that one can join and participate in. These sub-teams include: Mix Design, Academic, Construction, and the Rowing team.
Mix Design
This sub-team will design what would be the most optimal mix design for the canoe. There is no limit on the number of test batches, so mix away!
Academic
This sub-team will prepare any submittals that are required for our team to be able to compete. No submittals? No competition!
Construction
This sub-team will not only create the canoe design, but also create the mold for the canoe. No need to worry about whether or not you'll get dirty, because you will.
Rowing
This sub-team will be the team to row the concrete canoe to victory. Anyone can participate in the row team as long as they're willing to practice and bring home the gold.
