Transporting Farm Products Efficiently: A Barge Challenge

Join us in exploring the transportation challenges faced by Alabama farmers, specifically regarding the efficient movement of crops like corn and soybeans. As part of our engineering inquiry experience, your team's challenge is to design and build a boat capable of transporting 1/4 cup of beans across a water source while keeping them dry. Barge transportation is an economical and environmentally friendly solution, and you can witness it in action on the Tombigbee River. Will you take on this innovative challenge to support local agriculture?

  3. 4-Hinnovators, your team’s challenge is: The transportation of farm products such as corn and soybeans can be a challenge to Alabama farmers. It must be quickly and efficiently moved to factories for processing or to coastal ports for overseas exporting. Barge transportation can be the most efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly way to transport goods. You can watch barges travel the Tombigbee River in Alabama. Your challenge is to design and build a boat that can transport ¼ of cup of beans across a water source and keeps those beans dry. Will you help?
