More than 150 students from 16 counties were given a set of parts including pool noodles and batteries, then given the task of building their SeaPerch to go through a pool obstacle course.
As you can imagine, it requires teamwork.
'You need the person pulling in the water, so you know what you're doing, you don't get tangled,' student Cason Martin said. 'Then you need the person behind you, so you know what you're doing. It's a group effort for sure.'
