Concrete Canoe Cal Poly San Luis Obispo






Floating Concrete!?
It's a thing! Since the 1960s, ASCE student chapters have designed, built, and raced canoes made of concrete. It is weird concrete, but it is still concrete!
This unique challenge aligns with Cal Poly's motto of "Learn by Doing" where students jump in to tackle complex project management and develop innovative design choices.
