Boat Float STEM Sprint – Ocean Buoyancy Engineering | Grade 2
In the Foil Boat Delivery Sprint, students become naval engineers as they design and build an aluminum foil boat capable of carrying the maximum possible cargo payload without sinking. Set inside the Ocean Explorers narrative theme, this focused 1-week sprint challenges Grade 2 students to investigate buoyancy, hull shape, and weight distribution — testing their design, recording load data, and making one evidence-based redesign before their final cargo test. What Students Will Do* Investigate

Boat Float STEM Challenge – Forces, Motion & Transport Engineering | Grades K–8
In the Boat-to-Shore Transport STEM Challenge, students become marine and mechanical engineers as they design a system that safely moves cargo or passengers from a floating boat to the shoreline without tipping, spilling, or sinking. This real-world engineering scenario blends buoyancy, stability, force and motion, and systems design as students solve a transportation challenge using only simple classroom materials. This engaging, low-prep STEM project is perfect for STEM labs, science class
