David Giessel was also on the winning Floatable Moatable Team.

Ray Skoog of Chugiak HS with his record setting bridge.

Ray's bridge had 293 separate pieces of wood in it. 112 of them are in the arch alone. 64 of those are not visable from the outside (little rienforcers)

Happy Bridge Builders. The twins, Heather (14th place) & Hanna (7th place) Craig of Central JHS were also on the 2nd place overall team in the Floatable Moatable.

How far will it go? A couple of simple rubber band powered vehicles getting underway.

Construction begins on the Floatable Moatables

Innovation is the name of the game....

And so is team work!

Intensity was evident everywhere as the crafts were put to the test.

Not all the boats float the full 5 minutes! Back the drawing board....
