ART AT THE MOLECULAR LEVEL

SD73 students test the seaworthiness of cardboard at TCC Justin Moore STAFF WRITER Ω "Whatever floats your boat," took on a whole new meaning for students of David Thompson and Logan Lake Elementry school last Friday. Using cardboard and duct tape supplied by the TRU Trades and Technology program, students from both schools spent three hours of the morning constructing

boats big enough to hold a single group member and buoyant enough to race across the TCC pool. "They were pretty excited and nervous and not sure how it was going to end but overall they were pretty stoked to be here," said Chris Martin, a teacher at David Thompson. These trials come after months of planning, designing, prototype building and revising as part of the new applied design science and technology program that's

being offered in elementary and secondary schools. The first of three heats took off just before 1:00 p.m., the students eagerly casting their creations off into the Tournament Capital Centre pool overlooked by parents, teachers and surrounding TCC patrons.
