Using the engineering design process, students will assemble a radio-controlled boat, customize it with various hull shapes, and configure different motor setups. They will design and construct this boat to balance speed, maneuverability, and stability, exploring principles of buoyancy, propulsion, and control systems in marine engineering. The goal is to develop strategies that optimize the boat's performance for specific tasks or challenges.

Grade Level(s): Elementary & Middle School (ages 7 - 14)
