We recently reported on a team of students from Centerville Middle School in Fremont who toured the floating homes as research for a project to design a fully functioning floating metropolis. The team’s entry took first place over 30 teams from across Northern California. Then they headed off to Washington, D.C. for the finals where they won the best transportation category which challenged students to design transportation systems that are “not only efficient, but also sustainable, equitable, and innovative.”
Tour leaders Teddie and Brad Hathaway launched a drive that raised $500 to help support the team’s work with the generosity of floating home neighbors.
