Flying Kites!

Help me give my students the joy and experience creating and flying kites.

My Project

Each student will be provided with their own kite-making kit to ensure a fun and educational experience for all participants.

Kite making will enhance students' understanding of physics concepts such as lift, drag, and wind dynamics through practical application.

Students will learn about aerodynamics, weather, kite safety, and how to fly their kites effectively. Additionally, a kite flying event will take place where students can showcase their creations and celebrate their achievements.

With your support, we aim to inspire young minds and ignite a passion for learning through the joy of kite making and flying.
