High School EPIC Lab: Aerospace Engineering

Ready for takeoff? High-school students are invited to explore aerospace engineering through a hands-on foam-glider design challenge at the University of Nevada, Reno. Students will investigate lift, drag, balance, stability, and aircraft design as they build, test, and improve their own foam gliders. Participants will use the engineering design process to examine how small changes can affect an aircraft’s flight performance. 📅 Saturday, December 5, 2026 🕘 9:00–11:00 a.m. 👧🏽 Audience: High-school students 📍 University of Nevada, Reno College of Engineering Space is limited, and advance registration is required.
