Build a Boat -Boost Your Brain

 

What a fantastic way to learn math, science and engineering without ever setting foot in a classroom! The Tidewater Wooden Boat Workshop is an amazing week-long program where kids 12-18 years old help build full sized wooden boats then actually take them in the water and row and sail them.  Due to the Covid pandemic the workshop has had to make some changes in the program.  Kids and staff must wear masks as they work outside, at socially-distanced tables, assembling wooden model boats, while still learning STEM concepts. After painting the boats, the kids then get to take them home to enjoy. What fun!
