In this hands-on STEM challenge, students take on the role of engineers tasked with designing and building a parachute using everyday materials. Their mission is to safely carry a toy army figure from a height of 2 meters while achieving the slowest possible descent rate. Through designing, testing, and refining their parachutes, students investigate how air resistance, mass, and forces affect motion. They will experiment with different parachute shapes and materials to increase drag and impr
