Criterias
Design Goal
Construct a toy to entertain fourth graders. It will climb up a vertical glass surface by approximating the climbing motion of a flying squirrel. The toy will include a release mechanism that will allow it to glide down to the ground, mimicking the squirrel’s “flying” motion, and will land safely. It will be durable enough so that when it lands it can be used again.
