Years 5 and 6 have the ‘Big Paper Plane Launch’ using the NXT launcher they made and modified.

Dear Bloggers,

Students in years 5 and 6 made NXT paper plane launchers. Many modifications and changes later the challenge was on to find a set of finalists who could use the device to launch the plane the greatest distance.

This is what the launcher looked like.
