Also, through practice, the students gained anintellectual understanding of team operations, leadership, entrepreneurship, navigation,watercraft skills, camping/outdoor skills, time management, design, fabrication, andenvironmental issues.The students were challenged emotionally in three distinct ways. First, the students lived closely(ate, slept, played, and worked) together 24 hours a day for two months. The team was a diversegroup of students, staff, and faculty, which could create much
