Mexico Middle School Students Build Hovercrafts

MEXICO – Mexico Middle School students had the opportunity to build, ride and test their very own hovercrafts.

Working in groups and guided by Matt Chase of The Hovercraft Project, students worked together to piece together a hovercraft designed to carry a student across the gym floor.

Using mathematical and problem-solving skills, each group tested their craft, measured distance traveled and made adjustments.

The groups competed too see whose craft could travel the farthest.
