Why POWERUP?
Creating and flying a paper airplane seems pretty straightforward. Making a powered and controlled paper airplane, observing it in flight and improving its design through experimentation is challenging and fun. Yet, this simple concept of flying paper airplanes is one of the main cornerstones of the broad field of aeronautics, and foundational to STEM learning. PowerUp learning tools introduce students to various aspects of aviation.
