Walkway Connections (For Kids!): Gliders and Paper Planes
On Saturday, October 24 from 4:30-5:30 p.m. at the East Gate Plaza in Poughkeepsie, kids will be able to design, build, and test their own flying creations! Experiment with hoop gliders and paper airplanes to see how shape, balance, and wing size affect flight. Try different designs and see whose aircraft can glide the farthest or stay in the air the longest.
