He that will not sail till all dangers are over must never put to sea. – Thomas Fuller
Infinite duct tape, several boxes, 4 pairs of scissors, and 4 brilliant minds–but only one team could claim the title of Cardboard Captains at the second annual Honors College Cardboard Regatta.
Honors College students and faculty in a battle of the boxes on April 1st to raise money for the Eakin Fund, which supports Honors College living-learning experiences. The event involves teams of 2-4 participants who create a boat made only of cardboard and duct tape in an allotted time and then race the boat in a pool against other teams.
A video is worth a thousand words–watch our stealthy (and soggy) ships race across the ECU Student Recreation Center pool for ultimate glory:
