This event will provide a fun, engaging STEAM experience to 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.
Students will work individually or in small teams to 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.
Top performing teams will be recognized.
