Pioneer Park Elementary hosted The Hovercraft Project, drifting across their gym with style.

The Hovercraft Project is an immersive STEM experience in which students build, test and ride hovercrafts. The vehicles were powered by leaf blowers pushing air through a perforated tarp, allowing the students to test out how this affects movement and direction—and have fun doing it.
