Aerodynamics Class

I am teaching a Hands-on Aerodynamics class to 9-12 year olds as part of a summer program at our county museum. A little theory with lots of hands on demonstrations for aerodynamic forces and Bernoulli's Principle.

The focus, of course, is on making paper airplanes and kites for the youth to fly. I enjoyed your book and for the first time built a kite from scratch, thanks.

For the class, we are going to make two of your small skewer kites since they are so simple to make and I want to let them try tandem flight with two kites if they want after flying the first.

Not an exciting story but a fun one and hopefully some of the youth will continue trying their hand at flying.

Yes, your link is on the reference sheet of web sites I am handing out and credit giving when building the 1-skewer diamond kite.
