Cardboard Boat Race

Each Fall, the SRC sponsors a "Carboard Boat Race" in the SRC pool where teams of ASU students, faculty and staff design, create and build a boat made entirely corrugated cardboard. Boats are propelled by human power though an obstacle course around the pool. A $10 entry fee is donated to the United Way. 

Allowed supplies include:

  • Corrugated Cardboard
  • Elmer’s Wood Glue
  • Liquid Nails
  • Duct Tape
  • Water Based Paint
