21st January - Plane Sailing
Can it fly? Why does it fly? How far can it fly? And how much weight can it carry? Engineers often create small-size models to test a product’s design. Model testing tells engineers how a design might perform in a real-world situation. The engineer can experiment with different shapes and materials to produce the perfect design for the task. In this creative engineering session you will design and make your own paper planes (or gliders!) and then see how they perform in a series of challenges.
