They will learn about the principles of flight, glider design, and construction of hand-launched balsa wood gliders, and will learn the value of determination, careful planning and execution, teamwork and attention detail. Students will experience the entire engineering design process, from brainstorming to drafting, research and creating materials lists, constructing testing and evaluating.
