How to build an archimedes boat?

Each team will construct, on site, a boat using only a 300 mm by 300 mm piece of Aluminum FoilWe will provide the foil and the penniesYour goal is to make a boat that will carry the most washersThe boat must float unloaded for at least 77 seconds to count as a boatYour team will have a limited amount of time to build, float and load your boat~can anyone please give me tips on how to win the contest?~~thanks

Answer:

You can separate materials by their compositionsYou pointed this outFor example, take an empty box or container and place all the HDPE recyclables in itFind another box/container and place all the PETE materialsPlace cardboard and paper together I would organize them so that they only need to be recycled when the containers/boxes are full, or nearing fullI don't believe it makes sense to take them every week unless it is necessaryI hope this helps and gets you thinking in the right direction.
Check for some recycling done by your city governmentMany cities have areas for recycling(not dumping) and have specialized containers you can keep and fill at homeYou could do your whole neighborhood.
i would like to build 1 too!
