The Power of Flight
I wonder...what is needed to fly?
Have you ever wished you could fly to school or work instead of walking or driving? Humans have always dreamed of flying, and science helps us understand how it might be possible! By exploring gliders, streamlining, wind pressure, and propulsion, we can learn the secrets behind how birds, planes, and rockets take to the skies. Through fun STEAM-based activities, you’ll discover what it would take for us to soar above the ground — and maybe even design your own flying invention for the future!
Discover the Power of Flight!
What would it take to fly to school or work instead of driving? In our Power of Flight Workshop, kids will dive into the science of soaring — experimenting with lift, propulsion, and wind to see what makes flight possible. From gliders and paper planes to rockets and air traffic control, this workshop takes imagination to new heights!
Kids will love testing, tinkering, and creating as they learn the forces that keep things in the air — then design and launch their very own flying invention.
More Than Just Airplanes!
This workshop combines science, engineering, and creativity with hands-on activities that keep kids busy and inspired, including:
Discovering how lift, drag, thrust, and gravity work together in flight
Testing propulsion with fun launches and landings
Designing and flying gliders and paper airplanes
Exploring how wind and streamlining affect movement
Experimenting with different ways to launch and control flight
Learning the role of air traffic control in keeping the skies safe
Creating and testing their own flying inventions
And of course… a few sky-high surprises along the way!
