The books made it easy for them to experiment with different styles and designs, and they loved the challenge of trying to improve their flights. What started as simple paper airplanes quickly turned into rich discussions about lift, drag, symmetry, and even the science behind real aircraft. It's been incredible to watch their confidence and collaboration grow as they build, test, and improve together.\r\n\r\nYour donation did more than provide materials—it helped create a space where students feel inspired, curious, and empowered. Many of our students had never built paper airplanes before, and now they're talking about careers in engineering, design, and aviation.
