Jefferson Elementary School students build, ride hovercraft machines

MASSENA — Jefferson Elementary School sixth-graders took a field trip on Monday, and it involved floating across the gymnasium floor in a hovercraft.

The students took part in The Hovercraft Project, which is designed to integrate the curriculum, according to Matthew Chase, executive director of The Hovercraft Project, who led Monday’s all-day session.

Developed by Chase Educational Consulting, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, The Hovercraft Project travels to schools throughout the United States, Mr. Chase said.
