a self-paced maker lesson sequence.
For our first few challenges. We are going to test the limits of paper. Paper will fly and it will stand strong. You will find that paper is a very strong and shapable material, it holds a shape fairly well and it is easy to cut and reshape. The first challenge is to make the BEST flying device you can out of one sheet of paper. You may use one sheet to prototype and one to make your final flyer.
(paper is 8.5"x11" plain white copy paper)
