Autonomous Kayak

World Maker Faire 2017

September 23rd-24th

Exhibit Engineering

I built an autonomous kayak that completed an ocean trip to an island five miles offshore, completely unassisted. The kayak is Arduino based, with custom fabricated steering, propulsion, and navigation systems. It was my 8th grade project at Berwick.
