Newbury Park Teen STEAM Club

Newbury Park Teen STEAM Club

The Newbury Park STEAM club has created a pedal boat out of recycled materials designed to pull an underwater go pro camera. The boat was entirely designed and built by a group of teens who have meeting weekly at a neighborhood house.

What inspired you to make this project?:
I wanted to re-use junk and make something big and customized that the teen makers could take control of and design without a degree in Engineering. My son lasted longer propelling peddle boats then rowboats. We wanted something stable with low drag, so we planned a catamaran design. We will use it to drag an underwater camera along and escort or rescue a remote controlled underwater camera.
