What educators are saying

Very fun! We did each one on a different day as a reward activity. The hoop flyer was my classroom favorite. Excellent
A fantastic bundle of STEM activities. The children were engaged and very excited during testing and the making process. Having an editable version added to this bundle for me as I could adjust from feet to centimetres on charts. A wonderful resource to have.

    NOTE: The original bundle of flight resources included a STEM Challenge called "Designing Rockets". That resource is no longer available due to the scarcity of one of the necessary materials. I UPDATED this bundle to include a different flight challenge. If you already own this bundle (with the rocket challenge) - download this set again! You will be able to access the Hoop Flyer challenge at no extra cost!
