Paper 2 Tree second annual outreach event

On  November 6th, 2018, the BAM lab participated in the second annual Paper  2 Tree kickoff outreach event at Booker T Washington STEM academy in  Champaign, IL. Professor Wissa and graduate students taught the fourth  grade class about the advantages of boi-inspired design and the  difference between gliders and commercial airplanes. The BAMers assisted  the students in building their own bio-inspired glider and presented  the lab’s ornithopter as an example of a powered, bio-inspired flapping wing drone.
