Glider Plane Project (x15 projects)

$245.00

Students will apply principles of aerodynamics and engineering design to build, modify, and test a functioning glider plane using a templated design.✈️

Tasked with supporting the launch of STIIX-Ville’s new airport, 'STX', students will explore how forces like lift, drag, and weight impact flight. Through creative enhancements and iterative testing, they will evaluate how their design modifications affect flight distance, stability, and control.↗️

Be sure to check out the STIIX-Ville app as well, which serves as a very powerful, yet optional, extension to this project!🤳

  • Students Served: 15-45 students

Why Educators Choose
Hands-On Engineering

Students don't learn engineering by watching someone else engineer. These bundles put the materials in their hands and the challenge in front of them. Students investigate a concept, design a solution, build it, test it, learn from what happened and try again. That's where the learning happens.
