Technology Challenge - Build a Waka

We got given the challenge of creating a waka...out of newspaper.

We had to follow these rules...

1. Build the waka using only 5 whole newspapers and a roll of cellotape.
2. 3 people from the class have to fit in it (we worked out that Whaea didn't specifically say it had to be people in our group or be sitting down)

Here are some photos of our efforts
