Humanitarian Airdrops Grades 5–6
Students are faced with the challenge of designing and building a model of a parcel and parachute that will deliver necessary supplies to people in need following a natural disaster. In this project promoting the importance of humanitarian efforts, students will use the Egg Drop STEM Starter packs as a stepping stone for making their own airdrop system.
