The Ultimate Paper Airplane STEAM Project: 10 Day Engineering Design Challenge
Every year since I started teaching, I've done a paper airplane contest. When I first started around 10 years ago, it was a quick contest that lasted just a few minutes. Gradually, as my experience as an educator grew, this project began to grow into what it is today... A 10 day cross-curricular mega project! I always say that student engagement is the key to learning, and I can almost guarantee that your students will be engaged during these activities! They will be measuring, graphing, reading
