The UW Concrete Canoe Team needs your help to get to Nationals
The University of Washington Concrete Canoe team is a group of your colleagues here at UW that design and build a canoe made of concrete. In addition to utilizing their engineering abilities to design and construct a concrete canoe, students also improve their communication, management, and self-motivation skills when they participate in this year-long project. After 7 months of hard work, the UW Concrete Canoe team competed against other universities from around the Pacific Northwest at the regional competition in Pocatello, ID. The Huskies won all five races and swept all but one of the judged categories. As the regional champion, the team is now preparing to participate in the June national competition at Clemson University in South Carolina.
Transporting a 21-foot long concrete canoe and a team of 16 engineering students is expensive. In order to compete at the national competition, this student group needs to raise an additional $10,000 to compete at nationals. These funds will primarily help pay for registration fees, airfare, and the canoe transportation costs.
The fundraising campaign launches on June 1st and will run for 30 days. Please help enrich these students’ education by donating to our campaign at: https://uw.useed.net/projects/256/home
