Our Wildwood, Summer 2019, Volume 45

Applied Math and Science = Smooth Sailing

T he challenge of the Wildwood Cardboard Boat Regatta seems straightforward: Crews of two or three 6th grade students launch small boats into the 25-meter lap pool at Santa Monica College, then paddle and navigate their crafts three times across the water while staying afloat. The fastest time wins. The catch: Success is not guaranteed, and failure will get you all wet in this competition.
