Float or Sink: Family Science Challenge

A hands-on science challenge designed for families and children, organised by Technoscience Région Métropolitaine. Participants are invited to design and build a small boat from simple materials, with the goal of making it float and carry as much weight as possible.

The activity draws on Archimedes' principle and encourages creativity, logical thinking and strategy. No prior scientific knowledge is required — just curiosity and a willingness to experiment.
