Maker Faire Austin 2007
Air Fair
You can't always see it, but it's at work all around us - it's AIR. Four hands-on exhibits from Austin Children's Museum make the science of air touchable and allow fairegoers to playfully discover the powers and properties of air. Make and take activities include Penny Parachutes & Paper Flying Objects. Use the properties of air to take flight. Join professional engineers from the Austin area to build, design, test and modify your flying objects!
