The Concrete Canoe Competition:
The concrete canoe competition is a yearly competition in which teams from all around the region bring the canoes their schools built over the past year. The schools must follow certain criteria in regards to quantities and quality of certain aggregates, admixtures, and concrete in the concrete mix designs. The concrete must also pass certain compressive strengths and various other tests. The concrete canoe must fit certain physical dimensions in regards to length, width, height, etc.
In addition, each school must have a "theme" for their canoe. Each canoe must be named and a presentation which describes methods on how the canoe was made, concrete mix design, etc. The day after the presentations, the canoes are raced against each other. The school with the most points combined from the presentation, paper, and races win. The first place team advances onto the national competition.
