While some canoes can be pulled across sand and rocks, nicer canoes should be floating in shallow water before people climb into them. We are looking for a solution to help stabilize the canoe and make stepping over the side of it and settling into the seat a bit easier. Objective of the project is to support individuals while entering/exiting a canoe sitting in shallow water.

About

Our mission is to help bring the real-world into the classroom by providing engineering students with practical hands-on experience through industry-sponsored and client-based capstone design projects. Since its inception, the Learning Factory has completed more than 1,800 projects for more than 500 different sponsors, and nearly 9,000 engineering students at Penn State University Park participated in such a project.
