Whitewings in the Classroom

Did you know that Whitewings are an ideal tool for teaching kids about the science of flight?  Conventional lessons from a  textbook can be unclear, dull and complicated. Teaching with Whitewings can turn your science lesson into an active, hands-on, crystal clear kind of learning experience. 

Flight Science
WW in class! Assembly helps kids understand the value of creating something with their hands.  Tuning by adding curvature to the wings teaches them about the science of flight.  And flying...well, flying is simply amazing.  Watching a plane you made with your own hands soar high through the sky makes for an unbelievably fun and self-satisfying experience.

Beyond teaching kids about the science of flight, the Whitewings experience also 

  • provides a forum for group interaction 
  • teaches the need to follow directions carefully
  • fosters a sense of self confidence upon kit completion 
  • provides an alternative way to gain the health benefits of physical education, without the fear of competition or physical contact 

 

Kids love WW!

We get great feedback from teachers who use Whitewings in their classrooms.  The following was taken from a recent email.

I...built many [Whitewings] planes when I was a child...Now that I'm a 5th grade teacher, I have built several hundred of your planes with my students for my Flight Unit...Many students have gone home and ordered more planes because of the great success they had in class.
