Meet this year’s concrete canoe team!
Concrete Canoe at Michigan Tech designs, builds, and tests a canoe made entirely of concrete, prioritizing speed, agility, and aesthetic value. The team looks for ways to keep the process sustainable, innovative, cheap, lightweight, and efficient.
This year, the team chose Norse Mythology as their theme. With the theme chosen and new members recently safety trained, all committees are working hard on reaching their goals. The construction and technical committees are ramping up, paddling firing on all cylinders, and aesthetic committees flexing their creative muscles. The team is excited for what the rest of the year may hold!

Past Years
The 2024-2025 MTU Concrete Canoe team did a fantastic job representing BWE with all they accomplished.
The team took 1st place overall at the 2025 EGL ASCE Student Symposium. Their canoe had exceptional turn speed, and their theme was based on the mining operations in copper country. They placed 1st in the subcategories Technical Proposal and Technical Presentation, and 2nd in Final Product.
The team’s outstanding job at the regional symposium earned them a spot in the national competition! This took place in July 2025 in California. They had an outstanding race, design, and presentation from their hard work throughout the last school year. This hard work earned them 9th place overall, an impressive feat for their first attendance at finals in several years.
