Re: Suggestions for One Day Work Shop Ages 5 - 13

We've done Saturday paper airplane contests with Elementary through Middle school aged children at local school districts. We have them work through and try different designs and settle on ones that work for them. Different designs work better for different aspects of the contest - fly farthest, stay aloft the longest, best landing accuracy, etc.
Even balled up paper qualifies.
