Paper Snowboard

By Skye Rohde

Syracuse, NY – Thirteen students from Syracuse University and SUNY's College of Environmental Science and Forestry are in Colorado this weekend to test out their paper snowboard. Yes, that's right. They've spent 8 months building a snowboard out of paper for a national competition called the Energy Challenge Design Competition. WRVO's Skye Rohde has this report.

Recent cuts to federal funding are challenging our mission to serve central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities. This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.

Stand with public media and make your gift today—not just for yourself, but for all who depend on WRVO as a trusted resource and civic cornerstone in central and upstate New York.
