Spencer Boucher (left) and Aidan Lewis (right), 10th graders of Matthew C. Perry High School, pose after winning the cardboard boat science competition held at the IronWorks pool aboard Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, March 12, 2015. Boucher and Lewis were the only students to successfully venture down and back in the Olympic sized pool while one rowed with a handmade, cardboard paddle. “It feels pretty awesome to be the best out of everyone and we enjoyed competing,” said Boucher. “We learned a lot about the elements of math and science such as buoyancy and we worked as a team, that’s how we were successful.”
