The Glider Project is a hands-on problem-solving challenge where teams design, build, and test a glider using limited materials and time. Participants must align on design choices, distribute responsibilities, and iterate quickly based on test results to improve flight performance.
The activity emphasizes experimentation, learning from failure, and continuous improvement as teams work toward achieving the longest, smoothest, or most accurate glide.
