Kites, Copters, Rockets and other Make-at-Home Projects

Virtually Maker Faire 2020

May 22nd-23rd

Enjoy a demonstration of some projects from my book Planes, Gliders and Paper Rockets. These are simple projects that can be made with things around your house. They use inexpensive materials and work well with groups as well. Along with demonstrating a kite, copter and rocket projects, I'll also tell about and provide resources to many more of my favorite flying projects.

This session will be followed by a live Q and A with Rick.

ABOUT THE MAKER
After teaching middle school for 24 years, Rick's maker world and teaching world collided as he was hired to start the maker program at Steindorf K-8 STEAM School in San Jose, California. Since then he's spoken at conferences throughout the US and Internationally on issues related to Maker Education. Along with his wife and kids, Rick has been involved in Maker Faire since 2007 in the Bay Area, New York and Detroit. His first article for Make: was on a compressed air rocket in 2008 and since then has written dozens of articles and two books for Make: Rick is also the co-founder of www.AirRocketWorks.com
