Concrete Canoe

Who we are:

As part of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) student chapter at Iowa State University, the Concrete Canoe team designs, builds, and races a canoe made entirely out of concrete. Each year, college teams from across the U.S. compete to participate in the ASCE National Concrete Canoe Competition. Before qualifying as a participant in the national competition, teams must first win their regional competition. During the competition, teams present their final product, complete a swamp test, and race their canoe. Each year, a new set of rules and regulations are provided, and the team works to create the best canoe possible. The team meets in the lobby of Town Engineering at 7pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
