AUS NGN110 Fall 2010 Toothpick Boat Competition

A competition offered to 500 Freshman students as part of the NGN110 "Introduction to Engineering & Computing" Fall 2010 Course at the American University of Sharjah. The goal is to build a boat made out of toothpicks and glue only. The boat has to carry a 0.5L filled water bottle. As a challenge, the bottle will be dropped from 15cm from the highest point of the boat. The boat should sustain the drop and not sink or flip. The winner is the group with the lightest boat.

The competition was organized by Dr. Fadi Aloul (faloul@aus.edu).

The video was produced by Nihal Khunaizi and Nour Nour.
