Scientific Applications 2:
Paper Airplanes
Ever wonder why a paper airplane flies? Or how a massive passenger plane can fly despite being so heavy? Join UofC EE student Justin Zhou as we dive into the answers to these questions and so much more in the second installment of WestMech's Scientific Applications course!
Cover the physics behind how paper airplanes fly and their aerodynamics. Learn about how to distinguish between different motions in the air and the effects that they have on a plane. We finish off the class by learning how to fold different paper airplanes and their benefits.
Registration is FREE and class is on February 21, 2021 at 2:00pm. All grades 4+ are welcome!
