Steindorff- We are getting close to wrapping up our focus on water transportation. This week tested our boats to see if each design worked as planned. We embraced failure when some of our boats did not work as planned but also encouraged each other when redesigning and testing again. Take a look at our boat tests: https://youtu.be/-c6JU5rXR9A
