Kite Quest
Come take flight with us in this hands-on STEM class where we explore the science behind kites!
Through engaging demonstrations and hands-on kite-building, students will discover how forces like lift, drag, thrust, and gravity interact to make kites soar. Students will learn how Newton’s 3rd Law—“For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction”—plays a role in getting a kite off the ground and keeping it in the air. We’ll also dive into Bernoulli’s Principle and how differences in air pressure help kites generate lift.
After building their own simple kites, students will get the chance to test them in real-world conditions and adjust their designs for optimal flight.
Perfect for curious minds who love science, engineering, and a little bit of adventure in the sky!
For 3rd - 7th graders
Powered Gliders Workshop
This is a great Saturday morning activity for kids who love to build and tinker. Each participant will build their own powered glider including installation of power pack. Then we’ll take to the skies and watch them soar.
