Nate, where are you?

Nate!

Nice work, guys.

So what's this rocking test do

for your plan to spend the rest

of the afternoon?

Well, I think I might need a

trip to the bathroom.

I wet my pants out there.

Yeah, you wet your pants?

I say we need to start

working on the outriggers as

fast as possible.

All right, let's get going.

We've got a boat to build.

Yo, to connect the two hulls,

let's put two-by-fours across.

Yeah, yeah, let's do it.

Cool.

Put some foam in it to make

it float.

I think the thing I like the

most is that we don't have a

client.

It's 100% our design that's

going to decide who wins.

The best one's going to win.

At first, even Juan was freaking

out, because, you know, he knows

he's a big guy.

But we did all the math about

how we were going to distribute

the weight, and I think we did a

really good job.

But we don't really know yet,

because we haven't tested, like,

the first hull we made.

We don't want to sink in the

middle of the ocean.

I'm working on the outriggers

right now.

We've going to have a

two-by-three back there mounted

to the stern, and also a

two-by-three mounted to the bow.

And we're going to have... see

those plastic tubes?

I'm going to have two side by

side.

Hey, Wes?

Wes?

One second, Annelise.

That looks good.

We have enough caps, right?

No.

We have four, but if we do this

we have eight ends.

Why can't we ask Green Team

for those?

Juan, I was wondering if I

could have these four black

caps...

Hmm.

...that you don't need.

I love how she comes over and

I love how she comes over and

goes, "Can I have these caps you

don't need?"

We don't need them, but...

We need these for aesthetic

pleasure.

For aesthetic pleasure?

Great.

So what do I need to do to

negotiate?

Screws.

Yeah, we want screws.

So the longest screws we

have.

Yep.

Let me go talk to my team

leader.

Are you going to go over?

Yeah, Juan, come with me.

I brought Juan over.

He'd like to negotiate for their

black end caps.

What do you want for those?

We want the biggest screws

you guys got, longest.

Can we look at what screws we

have?

Yeah, we'll come back.

Okay, we're going to talk

about this.

I'll find you.

Good news, guys.

You took them back?

Well, they gave them back.

By the way, I found a whole

box of screws, too.

I say we give them the short

end of the stick and not give

them any screws.

Yeah, no screws for Juan.

Let's go.

Why don't we just take the

PVC?

I mean, it's easy to seal,

it's stiff, and we can mount it

a lot easier.

That's fine by me.

Yeah.

All right, I got these done.

You guys want to focus on the

sail?

Yeah.

Yeah.

A square sail, like, a

rectangular sail, like this?

Connected at all four corners?

They used it when they

discovered the New World.

They don't use them that much

anymore.

I mean, it's pretty much

straight, but...

I'm sorry, Ana, you're funny.

Okay.

A rectangular sail would be

awesome if we're going downwind,

like, but again, you never know

where the wind's going.

I mean, as long as we can

rotate the sail, we'll be okay.

Okay.

Ana, you want to work on the

sail while Zach and I work on

the mast?

Yeah.

Ahoy there, you landlubbers.

Here's the deal.

Green Team got their sailing

lesson already.

Ready for your sailing

instruction?

Yeah, definitely.

Let's go.

Purple Team, this is

Rosemary.

Rosemary is an expert sailor and

a very experienced sailing

instructor, so you guys are in

good hands.

Awesome.

Great.

Purple Team, let's go.

All right.

So you guys know how a rudder

works, basically.

When I push right, we go left.

When I push it left, we go

right.

So right now I'm pulling down

the center board.

It's a big piece of fiberglass

that sticks down beneath the

boat.

What that does is it keeps the

wind from pushing us sideways,

simple as that.

All right, so does anybody know

how a sail works?

Newton states that a force

must be applied to an object to

make it move in a curved path.

When air molecules hit a sail,

it pushes them in a curved path

along the front or windward

side of the sail.

At the same time, air molecules

are pulled in a curved path

around the back or leeward side

of the sail.

But Newton also states that for

But Newton also states that for

every action there is an equal

and opposite reaction.

So the pushed molecules create a

pushing force on the windward

side of the sail.

And the air molecules being

pulled create a pulling force on

the leeward side of the sail.

These pushing and pulling forces

combine to propel the boat

forward.

All right, so you guys feel

comfortable?

Yeah.

All right, so want to head

back now?

Definitely.

All right.

Thank you.

Thanks so much.

That was awesome.

Ready to put the mast on?

Okay, let's go.

What's up, what's up, what's

up?

That good?

Actually, that looks pretty

cool, dude.

Juan, that looks pretty.

It does look nice.

Hey, guys, can I talk to you

guys about how big this sail

should be?

Sure.

So I thought that we should

probably maximize the amount of

sail we have.

That would definitely catch

more of the wind than just a

triangle.

Okay.

I'll start doing that now.

Wow, you're kicking butt,

Ana.

The grommet master.

Okay, we're done here.

Let's put it on.

All right, Juan, here you go.

This is the side, right down

here.

It's where it's going to be

attached to the boom.

The boom boom?

Mm-hmm.

You just want to zip tie it

on?

Yeah, I'm just going to zip

tie it.

Wow, I'm proud of myself.

You ought to be, too, Ana.

What's up, guys?

Is their sail square?

That's what it looks like.

Yeah.

Doesn't really look like a

sail to me.

Yeah, but...

I guess they do have more

area, but this is coming

together.

Just stop talking about them,

all right?

There.

Done.

Beautiful.

It's so beautiful.

Hey, Green Team!

Hey, Green Team!

Anyway, you want to go out

and test it real quick?

Let's go.

One, two, three.

Hey, guys, Green Team's

testing their boat.

Okay, I'm going to get on

first, and you guys adjust to

me.

All right, hold on.

Juan's getting on right now.

Oh, it's floating!

Doesn't look really stable,

though.

I hope he falls in.

I think he's definitely

getting wet after this test.

Yeah.

It is stable.

It's really stable.

It's stable.

It's stable.

Hey, I'm trying to rock it.

Rock it, rock it!

I'm rocking it.

They're going to fall off if

they move left to right.

Yeah, man.

Yo, I'm just going to lay

down in this spot the whole

race.

They didn't secure the top of

the sail.

So they're not using all of it.

But to the proportion of their

catamaran, I don't know if it'll

sail.

Yeah, that's true.

It doesn't really matter.

Let's get ours done.

Let's do it.

So what did we learn from

this test?

It doesn't take on water.

It doesn't take on water.

It's sealed, good.

It's stable.

In the race it can hold all

three of us.

I have a question for you

guys.

How about that upper corner of

the sail that's flapping right

now?

Is that doing you any good?

I noticed something.

When we were sailing, the sail

by itself kind of made a shape,

and it wasn't, like, a straight

triangle down.

It was more of a little curve.

So what if we, like, get that

shape right?

Cool.

Let's take it back and work

on the sail.

All right, you guys ready to

take it back?

Yeah.

Right now I'm using the

leftover sail pieces to extend

the sail that I already have and

make the surface area a lot

bigger.

Hopefully this will make our

boat sail even faster.

The sail is done.

Okay, guys, I think that's

the end of the day, so...

What's the game plan for

tomorrow?

We've got to test the sail.

So sail, rudders, and then...

I'm going to go chill out,

tan out on our boat.

I think we did a great job

today.

Yeah.

All right, guys, great work

today.

We know what we've got to do

tomorrow.

So let's get out of here.

Okay.

Let's go.

I'm just happy that today was

a really productive day.

I find it amazing.

I'm feeling good.

Hopefully we'll have enough

time tomorrow to work on this,

and hopefully smooth sailing.

I think we should add the

rudder.

Can you get started on the

rudders, one for each side?

Okay.

Ana, are you done?

Done.

I can make a way to connect

them on.

Hey, Wes, I was thinking that

since we need to beach our boat,

we really need to have a rudder

that will bend up so that it

doesn't break in half.

So I'm going to cut this in

So I'm going to cut this in

half.

And add two hinges so the thing

can bend up.

And then to keep it in place I'm

going to have a swiveling board

so that it can't bend.

How's that?

Sweet.

Awesome.

Looks good.

Yo, Juan, this works pretty

well.

Cool.

I want to get this thing out to

test it as soon as possible.

Let's just finish this thing up.

Let's tip it over.

And then I'm going to attach the

rudders.

Cool.

I think we should go test this

thing.

Yeah, let's go.

Do we need help?

Wait, wait, wait.

Okay, now let's go test it.

I'm cool.

Zach, how you doing, dude?

Good, man.

Hey, guys, they're testing.

Their sail looks a little

small, doesn't it?

Yeah, it does.

Oh, well, it's not my

problem.

Don't let them see our sail.

I won't.

Okay, so are you catching the

wind?

It's not catching any air, so

we're not really going anywhere.

Really minimally.

And it can't be left like that.

I think that we're going to

have to make ribs.

If we have ribs, it's not going

to fold.

Okay.

Maybe we can have two sails.

Catch some more wind.

That'll work, catch some more

wind.

Okay.

Whoa!

There's a huge leak right here.

Whoa, that is ridiculous.

We have to seal that.

Check it out.

You don't see the stream?

Yo, I'm plugging the leak with

my finger.

Let's get out of here, dude.

Come on, you landlubbers.

Ready to go test?

Let's go.

We want to catch as much wind

as possible.

I hope there's more wind than

this, because we're barely

turning.

They're not really sailing.

They're just kind of floating.

Heads up.

Everybody duck.

Jib h*.

Oh, we caught some wind.

Oh, can you see it?

Can you see it?

Yeah, it's billowing.

Wow, look at their sails.

It's catching it, though.

You can see.

Their sail's doing what it... I

mean, it's doing the job.

Look, we even have a wake.

We're going to win this race.

Oh, yeah.

Yes, look how far away we

are.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, they're moving.

Maybe you should, Skipper,

Maybe you should, Skipper,

steer us back to shore.

You guys want to go back?

Let's do it.

Oh, wow, look at us turn.

Dude, we're actually in a

boat that we built.

I know, this is ridiculous.

And it's actually working.

Like, it sails.

Yeah.

Yeah, we have to

fix our sail, like, now.

Yeah, their sail's nice.

Do you guys think we should lose

the curve on our sail and just

do a triangle?

No, we should just stick

with what we have.

Oh, so beautiful.

So we have this extra fabric.

We're going to make a jib to

give us, you know, hopefully the

extra boost with the wind so it

catches more.

Okay, so here it's going to

go like this.

Yeah.

And it's going to run all the

way up to the top.

Have you got any ideas for a

name for our boat?

How about The Dream?

Sounds good to me.

Like the Dream Team?

Like, the Purple Team?

Yeah, I like it.

Oh, two, three.

Yay!

Nice.

The Dream.

Good work, you guys.

I just wanted to thank you

guys for working so hard.

I know you guys have nothing to

gain from doing this.

Bragging rights.

Winning.

Hello!

That's true, bragging rights.

But it turned out really nice,

and I'm sure we're going to do

fine in the race.

Better than fine.

We're going to win it for

you.

Yeah, we are.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

All right, Purple Team on three.

One, two, three.

Purple Team!

Whoo!

All right, guys, let's head to

the starting line.

All right.

Yes.

The Dream?

That's their name?

Yeah, The Dream.

Let's flip it over.

You got it?

What are we going to name our

boat?

We'll call it The Nightmare.

Just for kicks.

Nightmare.

Hey, guys, this is it.

What?

I'm speechless.

Let's get you the

scholarship.

Yeah, Juan, let's go.

How badly do I want the

scholarship?

It would be really nice to have

it.

I mean, I need it.

I really want this

scholarship really bad.

I'm pretty confident that our

design is going to win.

I mean, I don't know what Wes

has got up his sleeve over

there.

I'm pretty confident we have

what it takes to win.

I'm just really... I really

feel accomplished that I got an

awesome catamaran-style

sailboat.

I also want to shut Juan up

once and for all.

All right, Design Squads,

this is it.

It's the race to the finish for

the Intel scholarship between

the Intel scholarship between

Wes and Purple Team and Juan and

Green Team.

Yeah.

Now, you guys have done an

incredible job with this build.

I know you guys are proud of the

boats you guys made, and I

daresay they're seaworthy.

I can't wait to see them out

there.

You guys ready for your maiden

voyage?

Yeah.

This is going to be good.

We are ready.

All right, let's hit the

rules.

You're going to start just

outside the cove where the wind

starts.

You're sailing a half mile,

right across the sound, to West

Beach, all right?

Now, no funny stuff.

This is a sailing race only.

So no paddling, no oars.

We're going to be driving

alongside you in case you get

into trouble.

Only grab us if you're really in

distress.

But we'll be along there for

safety.

Now, when you guys get up to the

shore, when you're about waist

deep, then you can jump out of

the boat and pull it up onto the

beach.

Now, the first team to have all

three members cross the finish

line is the winning team for

that Intel scholarship.

Are there any questions?

Let's do it.

Let's do it.

Good luck, you guys.

May the best team win.

Good luck, fellows.

Good luck, Juan.

Good luck.

See you on the other side.

Wes, we're going into battle

for you, man.

Hey, guys, we built one heck

of a boat.

I mean, this is it, though.

This is the last chance, guys.

We'll get this for you.

We got this.

I know, you've got to show

everybody that [speaking

Spanish]

I will.

Zach.

Check it, yo.

Show me what you've got, man.

Let's go!

Purple Team!

Dream!

Purple Team!

Win!

One, two, three!

Hoo-rah!

Let's do it.

Five, four, three, two, one.

[air horn sounding]

Here we go, here we go.

Yeah!

Yeah, we're speeding, guys.

We've got a need for speed!

Pull it in a little bit

tighter.

Yeah.

All right, I guess that's good.

Yo, we're in the lead!

We're in the lead!

Any day now, boat.

Let's get a move on.

Oh, I need to bail.

Look at Wes.

He's taking water!

He's taking water out of the

boat.

What's the matter, guys, you

sinking a little bit?

Where are they, where are

they?

Oh, dude, we're definitely in

the lead.

On the back of our hull we

should have written, like, "Hi,

Wes."

How far are they?

A boat length.

Oh, we've got some wind,

we've got some wind.

I feel it.

Come on, baby, come on.

Sail for me, sail for me.

Come on.

Oh, oh, Wes, do you feel

that?

We're moving.

We're moving.

We're sailing!

Sweet.

I feel good about this.

All right, all right.

It is.

Oh, dude, they're catching

up, dude.

I know they are.

Come on, Zach.

I can't do anything about

that, man.

I hope a big wave comes and

knocks them out.

Kind of looks like we're dead

even with them.

Oh, my god.

Dead even.

Please go faster.

This is k*lling me.

Steering to port, steering to

port.

Are we catching the wind

right?

Ana, pull it a little bit

tighter.

That's good.

We're neck and neck.

The wind changed, the wind

changed.

It's coming over from starboard.

Pull it in more, pull it in.

All right, we look good.

We are ahead.

We are ahead.

They're ahead of us now.

Oh, whoa, they are.

Just catch the wind, bro.

Okay, we are definitely ahead

of them.

Yes.

Is Juan passed out?

He's awake, right?

I want him to see this.

Yo, are they still ahead of

us?

Yeah, yo, they're good.

Oh, they're all the way back

there.

Okay.

What happened, guys?

Going a little slow there?

Yo, they are ahead by a lot.

And we were winning, dude.

I see Nate!

There's Nate.

Finish line.

There's Nate.

Go, get out of the boat!

Purple Team it is.

An excellent race.

Congratulations, you guys.

Yes!

I love you guys.

I love you guys.

We did it.

This feels good.

This feels good.

We have a champion.

Hey, guys, here comes Green

Team.

We're down, we're down.

You only beat them by a

couple lengths.

That was an amazing race.

Here they come, guys.

Let's bring them in.

Nice job.

Way to go.

Congratulations, nice job.

Good job, man.

Nice race, man.

Hey, everybody, that was

great.

I'm going to miss you so

much.

I know.

Well, Design Squads, this is

the end.

Before I present this check to

Wes on behalf of the Intel

Foundation, I just wanted to say

how ridiculously cool this has

been.

This has been a bit of a

different year.

We had fewer challenges, and

they were bigger, but in the

end, it still came down to

teamwork and learning, and using

what you knew in each

consecutive challenge.

Because I saw a huge learning

curve this time, and I was

really, really impressed.

You guys are all acting like

You guys are all acting like

real engineers now, and I'm

really proud.

So congratulations to everybody.

This has been awesome.

So Wes, on behalf of the Intel

Foundation, I present you with

this $10,000 college

scholarship.

You deserve it!

With this well-deserved

victory for everybody, I say we

go swimming.

The Design Squad experience

is definitely one of the best

experiences I've had.

I've always grown up watching my

dad build things, but I was

never... I was never able to do

it on my own.

But after coming to Design Squad

I definitely have more

confidence in building things.

It's definitely changed my way

of thinking.

It makes everything seem

possible now.

Get out there, start building

some stuff, and see if you like

it, because it's a lot of fun.

It's just incredible.

I mean, it's taught me so much

about engineering.

I had the time of my life here.

Girls shouldn't be afraid to

want to be an engineer, and guys

shouldn't be afraid either,

because if you can dream it, you

can believe in it, you can live

it.

Hey, Lindsey, there's so much

more action on our Web site.

Yeah, behind-the-scenes stuff

like our blogs.

Not to mention you can watch

full episodes.

Play games and build cool

projects.

Awesome.
