PATHFINDERS STEM Kit – Paper Airplane Launcher | Science Kits – For Age 12–14 Kids

Take science and engineering to new heights with the DIY Airplane Launcher Science Kit—a hands-on STEM activity kit designed for kids aged 9+ (or 14+ recommended for independent use). This engaging project teaches aerodynamics, engineering design, and flight physics, while encouraging creativity, experimentation, and critical thinking.

Made from FSC-certified untreated wood and non-toxic, ASTM-certified components, this eco-conscious kit includes a precision-adjustable paper airplane launcher that can shoot planes up to 50 feet, making it perfect for repeated scientific testing. The included 20-page illustrated guide offers step-by-step instructions, airplane designs, and templates for conducting real flight experiments.

Whether you’re a STEM educator, homeschool parent, or young scientist, this kit transforms paper airplane play into a fun, educational experience. Test different wing shapes, weights, and angles to see how they affect flight—then tweak your design to optimize performance.
