Lyndon Warren, a senior at DHS, Life Scout, and newly minted alumni of Team 4026, hosted a paper airplane competition in August 2024 for Beacon Hill Middle School students for his Eagle Project. The goal of his project was to help Decatur Robotics define an outreach event they can develop and run annually. We're in the planning stages for the next event in 2025 so please join our mailing list for updates.

This event will provide a fun, engaging STEAM experience that can help people learn about aerodynamics, physics, and engineering. This competition will also encourage critical thinking and problem-solving skills as participants design and test their planes.

How will this work?
Small teams will design and fold paper airplanes to compete in three events: Accuracy, Distance, and Hang Time.
Supplies will be provided and participants will construct their airplanes at the event. We will have reference materials and guides for inspiration but you are encouraged to do a little research ahead of time.
We're adding an extra mechanical touch to the competition! Students will launch their papercraft from launchers built by Scouts.
Top performing teams will be recognized.
