Discover how airplanes fly as young aviators explore the four forces of flight, Newton's laws, how a wing creates lift, and how pilots steer and control an aircraft — closing with nature's own fliers and a hands-on wing-design challenge.
Join an interactive learning experience designed specifically for 8-12 years students. Our 12 week course combines hands-on activities, engaging discussions, and practical exercises to make learning fun and memorable. Each session is carefully structured to maintain engagement while building foundational knowledge and critical thinking skills. Students will work both independently and in small groups to explore concepts and apply their learning.

Explores what aeronautics is and introduces the basic idea of what keeps an aircraft in the air.
Trace the evolution of flight from nature's inspiration to modern aircraft, examining different types of aircraft and their applications.
Introduces the four forces of flight — lift, weight, thrust and drag — and how they work against each other to keep an aircraft flying.
Explains Newton's laws of motion and how pushing air backward is what lets an aircraft power and lift itself through the sky.
Introduces the atmosphere as the medium every aircraft flies through, and the basic properties of air that make flight possible.
Explains how a moving wing turns ordinary airflow into the lift that holds an aircraft up.
Explores why wings come in different shapes, and how a wing's design is chosen for the job it needs to do.
Covers how a wing's angle into the airflow controls how much lift it makes, and what happens during a stall.
Introduces the three axes an aircraft can turn on, and the flight controls a pilot uses to steer along each one.
Introduces the different families of aircraft engines and the many ways they push air back to drive an aircraft forward.
Explains why pilots watch the weather closely, and how wind, clouds and warm air affect every flight.
Looks at how nature's flying creatures have inspired aircraft design, and closes with where flight technology may be headed next.
