Cardboard Boat Race 2018

On Saturday 15th September two teams from Plymouth College entered the Institution of Mechanical Engineer's Cardboard Boat Race. Eighteen pupils spent three hours building their chosen vessels before taking to the water, in Plymouth’s historic Barbican.

Mr Wesley, who accompanied the teams, said: ‘all teams entered the spirit of the event with full gusto and a great time was had by all, even if it did mean some getting wet! As the event grows in size, it also grows in interest for our students as many opt to go and study a variety of STEM based subjects at university. Ultimately the event is all about fun and that was certainly had by all participants.’
