The design process resulted in a wide range of fabulous waka/boats this week. The focus was on buoyancy, stability, and load capacity. 
Benny, Hamish and Fynn float the Mighty Smurf! 
Issac, James and Kade had the remote control option but lacked a little stability. 
Jordyn, Billie and Hannah really did make sails out of bamboo leaves. (Nobody mention the axe!) 
The Smurf trailed behind the raft. 
Cooper, Sam and Charlie designed a very buoyant waka. 
Jack, Flynn and Shannon created a 'sea worthy' trawler. 
Breanna, Indi and Olive had some stability issues but they problem solved those! 
Ilish, Mylah and Emma had a very stable, and very pink, craft with the HMS Noodle

| Luken, Kayden and Noah used a lot of duct tape in their design. |

| An excellent design task with each group creating a waka that was buoyant, stable and had sufficient load capacity. The use of natural or recycled materials was a bonus. Great work everyone! |
