YS Aeromodelling Online Workshop 2020

The online workshops from Young-Scientist.in are designed just for you. We provide engaging learning experiences for the kids stuck at home. These online workshops include rich media, interactive simulations, quizzes, worksheets, activities to do at home at more!

This particular workshop explores the science and craft of aeromodelling. We'll study the principles of flight and the generation of lift. There will be an activity to make a glider and the registrants are required to print the template and gather materials. Alternative instructions will be provided for those who're unable to print. The airworthiness of the glider depends on the materials used and quality of craftsmanship. It'll be a fun activity and a great learning experience overall!
