RMAE middle-schoolers test their gliders at Science Day

Were they birds? Were they planes? No – they were gliders made by Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen middle-schoolers.


The middle-schoolers took to the school’s soccer fields on May 14 for the aerial jenga challenge, which is one of the events in the school’s Science and Innovation Day. Students designed and crafted their gliders individually or in teams of two.

Then the contest began to see how far the gliders would soar. Most of the teams named their gliders, and the top three were Mr. Wobbles that wobbled when it flew, Mr. Carrot that looked like a carrot, and the Holey Plane, named because it keeps on flying no matter how many holes are in it.
