Description

Who hasn't wondered how something as big as an airplane can stay in the sky? Why does a balloon float in the sky? Curiosity about the world is a natural feature for children, but the trick is not to make it disappear when we teach them scientific knowledge. During summer camps at the Aviation Education Center, we put (not only) physical knowledge into a construction scenario. Through elements of competition and fun, we tried to provide students not only with knowledge, but also with the method of inquiry through discovery and experimentation.
