This 7 meter long sailboat was sent out to collect and detect any sort of climate change in the ocean floor. The sailboat has been sent without a captain and is heading out to sea until it returns from its journey next month where we can see all the data gathered.
This relates to engineering because of how they had to calculate where it was going and how they could make it detect the climate change in the ocean. It also relates to engineering because they needed to find the materials to build it and how to build it.
