Imagine this: You’re standing on a grassy field, the sun warming your face. In your hands, a sleek paper airplane awaits its transformation. But this isn’t just any paper plane—it’s about to become a marvel of engineering. With the AMA Jr. Camp Flight Pack, you’ll harness the power of a capacitor, turning your humble creation into a high-flying, smartphone-controlled wonder. As you attach the electronics, you can almost feel the anticipation in the air. Will it soar gracefully or perform loop-de-loops? The possibilities are as boundless as your imagination!

The Mars helicopter Ingenuity, with its 72 flights and nearly 129 minutes of combined flight time, ignited our imaginations. It proved that flight on another world isn’t just a dream—it’s a stepping stone to even greater achievements in future missions. Now, let’s pay homage to this plucky drone by creating our own Mars Ingenuity lander in project 4 of the 2022 AMA Jr. Camp. Download the template today and embark on your Martian adventure! 🌟🛸

Daniel Bernoulli's groundbreaking work in fluid dynamics revealed that air pressure decreases as its speed increases. This principle is fundamental to understanding how airplanes lift off the ground. Dive into the fascinating story of Bernoulli's discoveries and learn how a simple bag of air teaches us about flight forces.

AMA Jr. Camp is a hands-on introduction to model aviation for students, and that’s why the projects are designed to incorporate as many household
