Brooklyn Boatworks is a program teaches kids how to design, build and ultimately sail their own creations.More than 100 young students put their hard work on display Tuesday, launching their hand-made boats and setting sail in the East River.
Olivia's group named their boat 'Take It E-Sea,' and the process of building proved pretty rewarding. "The best part is building it, it's an accomplishment for every piece," 6th grader Victor Davenport said.
