Fly off into the distance as we take a brief journey through the history and science of flight.

In this session, we take a brief journey through the history of manned flight which includes Leonardo Da Vinci and the Wright brothers. Students are introduced to the four key forces of flight and are guided through the process of fair tests.

In this program students will:

  • discuss the engineering evolution of flight
  • explore the forces that make flight possible
  • make a simple paper plane glider
  • investigate the process of fair testing.
