Cardboard Regatta 2009-123
These are photos from the annual School of Engineering and Computer Science Cardboard Regatta at University of the Pacific in Stockton, California. Every first-year engineering student has to do this for a class assignment. They have to build a two-person boat using only cardboard and duct tape and row it across the school's swimming pool twice. They are graded on whether they finish, if the boat is functional and can hold two people, and the aesthetics of their creation. You can find a story about the regatta online here:
