AWIM - Glider Challenge

SAE A World In Motion - Glider Challenge

Alix
SAE International's A World In Motion® (AWIM) is a teacher-administered, industry volunteer-assisted program that brings science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education to life in the classroom for students in Kindergarten through Grade 12. Benchmarked to the national standards, AWIM incorporates the laws of physics, motion, flight and electronics into age-appropriate hands on activities that reinforce classroom STEM curriculum.
Aleen
Students explore the relationship between force and motion.
Alyssa
Students explore the effects of weight and lift on a glider.
Brittany
Students learn the relationships between data analysis and variable manipulations.


Students learn the importance of understanding consumer demands.
Yikes
Through the support of corporations, foundations, volunteers, SAE members and the SAE Foundation, A World In Motion opens a window of possibilities for students as they discover the exciting application of science principles and learn about rewarding engineering, science and technical careers. The students learn to work as a team with their classmates and apply creative problem solving during the activities. GO HAWKS!
