SkyQuest Mission

Explore air, wind & flight!

Let's build something amazing together!

Welcome to Mission SkyQuest! 🪂

In this mission, your scholar will explore air, wind, flight, and engineering by designing, building, testing, and improving a flying object.

Watch the Mission Brief 🎥

✨ Science Spark

Air is always moving around us, even when we cannot see it. In this mission, STEMventurers explore how air, force, motion, and design work together to help objects glide, float, or fly.

👨‍👩‍👧 For Families

Families, please complete this mission with your scholar. Watch the mission brief, gather your materials, build your project, test it, and talk about what worked best.

🧰 Gather Your Materials

Paper
Pencil
Crayons or markers
Paper clips
Tape
Measuring tape or ruler
Optional: Nyla Nova Glider STEM Kit

You are an engineer exploring flight. Your mission is to design, build, and test a flying object.

📋 Mission Challenges

1
Design - sketch your flying object idea.
2
Build - fold or assemble your paper airplane or glider.
3
Test - fly it and observe how far it glides.
4
Improve - adjust your design and test again.
5
Share - take a photo of your finished project and upload it.

💭 Reflection
