Congratulations to a local team in Lowell, MA for their recent win at the Lowell Kinetic Sculpture Race in New
England, MA with our very own Kraken! Race coordinator, Bianca Mauro, transported the Kraken Upcycle up to Lowell MA this past weekend. The team succeeded in finishing the 6.5 mile course race, which went
through the city to a mud pit, through the state park and beach to a sand trap, and
finally across the Merrimack River. In addition, the Kraken Upcycle has
also won its second award in three years of racing: Lowell Kinetic
Sculpture Race's Golden Flipper Award for most interesting water entry, as the team rode down the ramp into the water at full speed!
We surely know Steven McAlpine is proud. Congratulations again to the entire crew, we're excited to see what's
next for the Kraken!

The Kraken is a moving art piece composed entirely of plastic bottles, plastic bags, soda rings, and other pollutants of the world's water sources. On a typical day, you'd find it proudly standing outside the Fine Arts building. More about the Kraken's origins and history can be found in INDS' newsletter, here and here.
