NSLC Test

Aircraft Carrier Launch

Students were tasked to build both a plane and a slingshot (to launch said rocket!), using cardboard, sticks, tape, rubber bands, and PVC pipe. Many planes flew great, some did some cool flips in the air, and others came crashing down after trying to break free of the constraints of the ceiling. Teams were given three chances to adjust their launching techniques and see who could fly the farthest!
