NYU Concrete Canoe

A Tandon Vertically Integrated Project Team

Who We Are

The NYU Concrete Canoe team is a student-led organization that designs, builds, and races concrete canoes. We compete annually in the ASCE Concrete Canoe Competition, showcasing our engineering skills, material science expertise, and teamwork.

Our team brings together students from diverse engineering disciplines, united by a passion for hands-on learning and collaborative innovation.

What We Do

Design

Innovative hull designs combining aesthetics with hydrodynamic efficiency using advanced CAD tools.

Build

Hands-on construction using unique concrete composites and sustainable materials developed in our lab.

Paddle

Mastering our creations on the water through rigorous training and synchronized teamwork.

Compete

Representing NYU at regional and national ASCE competitions against the world's best engineering schools.

Chrysalis

Our 2025 canoe represents renewal and transformation. Like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, Chrysalis pushes the boundaries of sustainable materials and improved hydrodynamics, embodying the team's evolution.
