Special Event - Kite and Flight Day at BLSC - June 15, 2013
From 10am to 4pm, join the Big Little Science Centre to create your own fabulous kites!
With three designs to choose from, children of all ages will find one to match their skills. These fun kites will soar regardless of the weather; they safely fly inside or outside using the wind created as you tow them along.
Plus, at 1:30 Mark Betuzzi will present a very special demonstration of his amazing remote controlled flying machines. Marvel at what can be done with these not so simple machines. Extra exhibits will be set up to allow you to discover Bernoulli’s Principle and how it applies to the movement of fluids, especially air. These fun activities will amuse and amaze as they defy your expectations. If there is enough wind, Don Bouffard will fly his stunt kite and do tricks and jaw-dropping stunts.
Free balsa wood airplanes will be given to all the children.
Everyone is invited to bring their own kites from 1pm to 4pm, and, if there is enough wind, to fly them in the safety of the schoolyard. No charge to kite flyers who prefer to enjoy only the outdoors.
