“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” – Neil Armstrong, July 20, 1969. Before we made our giant leap, our journey began in the skies! National Paper Airplane Day occurs annually on May 26.
This year, we invite you to celebrate our friends in flight with hands-on aircraft activities. From stomp rockets to ring-wing gliders, explore how engineering has propelled humanity from the skies to the stars! These activities are designed by NASA and other aerospace industry leaders, and each can be enjoyed at home with your favorite crew members – no wings required.
