STEM ELEMENTS
Feeling bored staying home amidst COVID-19? Calling out to all young aviators around the globe. Paper Gliders are graceful non-powered planes that take off in the air with a simple thrust. Most of us who fascinate about flight would have folded a paper plane. I believe many of you can already fold paper planes on your own, so why join our lesson?
In this lesson we will share about how planes fly in the air and how paper planes can achieve flight without air foil. Principles of flight theory and paper plane design considerations will be infused during the course. We will guide you through proper folding techniques of paper gliders. We will also share with you tips on how to make your paper plane fly further.
This virtual live session is recommended for kids 7 to 12 years old of age. Parents are more than welcomed to bond with your kids by folding the plane together. For kids 6 years and below, an adult must be present to guide the child. You can learn at the comfort of your house, all you need is a clean table, a ruler and some A4 paper.
