Creeds Stem aviation challenge 2017
This was the first year for Birdneck to participate in this event. Elementary schools across Virginia Beach were encouraged to create STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) teams to design paper airplanes in three different events: Fastest Plane, Slowest Plane, and Furthest Flying Plane. To encourage large participation, during Innovation Lab times, 5th Grade classes were engaged in the design process of developing 1 of the 3 different types of planes. Once each class choose who's planes were the best in each category, during their P.E. block, students competed to see who's planes would be submitted into the contest.
