Ages 11 – 14 Discover how hovercrafts on Earth are used to navigate the changing terrains of our planet. These versatile vehicles allow for smooth travels over water, mud, and ice, making them ideal for search and rescue operations, as well as in areas with fragile ecosystems. Additionally, the innovations developed for hovercrafts continue to influence the design of more efficient and adaptable aerospace vehicles. Jr. Aviators will build their own basic hovercraft while learning about the principles behind the motion and the reasons why this kind of vehicle is used. Learn how far a basic hovercraft can go and create new ways by changing the structure to see how much further it might travel. Get ready to hover with our interactive, make-and-take STEAM event.
