The Queen Anne’s Revenge Conservation Lab is celebrating Archaeology Month in North Carolina by taking over the National Science Olympiad’s October Wonder Challenge.
To celebrate the National Science Olympiad Tournament coming to North Carolina in May 2020, the lab is challenging members of the public to build a boat with whatever floats. You can use any materials you have around your home such as duct tape, paper cups, straws, or paper.
From now through Oct. 25, snap a photo of your boat creation, upload it to social media and and tag your photo with #WonderChallenge or #BlackbeardWonderChallenge. Top entries will be selected to win a Pirate Treasure prize pack! Find more information at www.scioly2020.com.
The Queen Anne’s Revenge Conservation Lab and the Office of State Archaeology are within the N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
