Description:

In this course, students explore the science, invention, history, and art of human flight. They see first-hand some of the inventions and contributions of famous aviators in history, and learn much about flight from local experts and enthusiasts. Students build their own flying contraptions-from simple paper creations that float freely through the air, to realistic model aircraft that fly under complete control. Students read and write about flying, and about building things that fly. Students help each other do all of this, and show others the excitement of taking flight. (Orr)
