Congratulations to Aleena (age 11) and Elissa (age 16) for winning our Sea Turtle STEM Challenge! Watch their winning entries and read what our STEM Challenge judge had to say about their designs.
Aleena’s Sea Turtle
What a unique design! I love the way you added the propeller to the back and played around with using the tail to do the work rather than two fins. Great to see you experimented and your turtle is definitely a great swimmer! I also loved the professional look of your video with adding the titles!

Elissa’s Sea Turtle
Awesome job! Your turtle had great big fins with a great shape to them which helped it have a nice long swimming time. I also loved that you were able to test it out in an outdoor body of water!
