Local high school engineering students create cardboard boats to float on water

MUKWONAGO, Wis. (CBS 58) -- When you're rowing a cardboard boat, you're always just moments away from swimming.

These are engineering students from Mukwonago and Union Grove high schools -- competing to see who could design the most sea-worthy cardboard boat.

They took over the pool at the Mukwonago YMCA -- so not necessarily the open waters of Lake Michigan, but still impressive that they could stay afloat!
