The Hovercraft Project is a fully immersive STEM experience where 5th grade students build, test and ride (yes, ride) hovercrafts.
We built this experience out of a desire to see kids LEARN to LOVE to LEARN.
We also desire to see students understand their value as people. When they understand their individual value, they can work as a team. And when they work as a team, they have the potential to build something awesome.

“Seeing my students who typically struggle with pencil and paper assignments excel with this project is my absolute favorite part. I tell them not everyone has to be the same kind of “smart”; that the world needs all types. But they don’t get when I just say it. Your project shows them.”
