Engineer your own Origami Boats!

Organization Name
Japanese Friendship Garden
Age Group Targeted
Spanish Speaker Provided
Yes

Students will build origami boats of varying levels of complexity and attempt to make the boats float in a tub of water. We will provide additional materials (e.g. Popsicle sticks, rubber bands, etc.) to challenge kids to propel their boats from one end of the tub to the other. Participants can also choose to race against one another.
