The NASA STEM Educator Professional Development Collaborative at Texas State University is providing a 1-hour webinar.

Explore the principles and physics of flight with flying things in your classroom. Using NASA online resources and simple, inexpensive STEM classroom activities and design challenges, we’ll investigate the parts of an airplane, what makes an airplane fly, and how can we design and build aircraft that can actually fly in your classroom.
