In the Precision Parachute Landing STEM Challenge, students become aerospace engineers as they design and build parachutes that must land as close as possible to a target while descending safely and accurately. This challenge blends physics, engineering, and problem-solving as students test how air resistance, drag, surface area, and weight affect flight and landing precision. This engaging, low-prep STEM activity is ideal for STEM labs, science classrooms, engineering units, makerspaces, an
