The Hovercraft
In-School Field Trip

The Hovercraft Project models science, teamwork and leadership to 5th and 6th grade students through a fun, participatory and immersive learning experience hosted at your school or organization: building a fleet of fully functional hovercrafts!

The Hovercraft Project Curriculum

Here is what’s included:

  • Training Videos

  • Full Written Curriculum

  • Printable PDFs 

  • Access to The Hovercraft Project Community (a place where the curriculum is hosted and where you can connect with others who have purchased and implemented the curriculum)

  • License for use at one location within your district (optional additional location licenses available)

Designed for 5th or 6th grade - but adaptable to any grade level.

Hovercraft Kits

Each unassembled kit comes with:

  • PVC disc with 2 pre-drilled holes

  • Ring with attached latch

  • Front "camera"

  • Back "camera"

  • Rubber knob/bolt

  • One pre-packed group supply bag  (5mm tape measure, 1 skirt, 1 color pamphlet, a 3 ft piece of string, 1 pair of scissors and 1 marker)

  • Basic instructions for assembly (this is meant for those purchasing a kit
    without the curriculum who just need to know how to quickly put it together.)
    For a 5 hour, steam-centered, fully-immersive, experience based around these hovercraft kits, please purchase the curriculum.

  • 4 extra pre-cut skirts

This works best with 6-8 students per kit if you are implementing our curriculum.  Sold individually, or as sets of 4 or sets of 16.

The blower, battery and charger are NOT included in the kit.

Blueprints to Build Hovercrafts

This is all the specs to build the parts of our hovercrafts. This will show you how to cut out the disc, bend the ring, attach the latches and where to purchase the auxiliary parts. 

This does NOT include the curriculum that was specifically designed to work in tandem with the hovercrafts.

TIP:  Please make sure you have access to the section bender/ring roller needed to bend the ring BEFORE purchasing the blueprints.  The machine must be capable of rolling 1” aluminum channel (leg in).
