Mlle Turcotte s class participated in an engineering/team building activity within their class. They made a design of a boat and had to construct it out of cardboard. They presented their design in front of their classmates. Judges were on hand to pick the best design. The best design was able to hold weights and float in water. The teams also had to have spirit.
