STEM
Flight & Aerodynamics
Little Pilots & Take Flight.
Young pilots build with bricks and navigate the skies, while older students use the engineering design process to explore the wonders of flight.
What students do
Every session is hands-on and project-based. Students collaborate with a vetted teaching artist, work through structured challenges, and leave with something they made — a model, a recording, a portfolio piece, a finished dish, or a performance.
Who it's for: Students curious about Flight & Aerodynamics who learn best by building, making, and doing.
What's inside
- •Hands-on labs and engineering challenges
- •Data collection and observation
- •Design–build–test loop
- •A capstone project to present
Session-by-session breakdown
Week 1
Discover
Tour the tools and vocabulary of Flight & Aerodynamics. Run a guided starter challenge to see the discipline in action.
Week 2
Core Concepts
Hands-on labs that isolate the science behind Flight & Aerodynamics — variables, observation, and a written hypothesis.
Week 3
Build
Students design and build their first original Flight & Aerodynamics project from a real-world prompt.
Week 4
Test & Iterate
Collect data, troubleshoot what failed, and engineer a v2 of the build.
Week 5
Stretch Challenge
An open-ended Flight & Aerodynamics challenge that combines every skill from the season.
Week 6
Demo Day
Students present their project, walk through their process, and field questions from peers and family.
