In an effort to pass on a passion for aerospace to the next generation, Aéro Montréal has developed, in collaboration with the industry, two interactive programs for elementary and high school students. These programs are available free of charge to teachers.
Build virtually the best glider in the world!
Take up the challenge of making it fly as far as possible and then modify it to improve its performance.
The Passion for Flight mini-game is powered by Aéro Montréal, le Cosmôdome and created by CREO with the financial support of The Howmet Foundation
Build virtually the best glider here!
Who are these activities targeting?
Elementary school students (Grades 5 and 6) and their teachers enrolled in schools located in the Montréal area (e.g. Montréal School Board and Montréal South Shore).
What is the activity?
Lasting approximately 75 minutes, the activity will follow the main steps of the Passion for Flight pedagogical guide (abridged version) with the aim of introducing young people, aged 9 to 11, to the aeronautics industry and to trades specific to this industry, as well as to build a paper airplane model following assembly instructions. This activity will allow students to familiarize themselves with the technological design process (planning, testing the prototype). Students will learn about forces and movements (material universe).
