Build Your Own Wind Tunnel

The NASA Glenn Research Center Learning Technologies Project supported a project, between 1993 - 1996, in which high school students built a small sub-sonic wind tunnel to use in the classroom to demonstrate aeronautical principals. The goal of this project was to advance the students' level of understanding in the areas of math and science.
