Workshops And Summer Camps: Learn Valuable Skills Around Aeromodelling

Flying has always been a dream of humans. The curiosity to know how birds fly led mankind to invent flying objects like planes and gliders. You may have made paper rockets or paper planes that fly across the class or the playground, however if you want to pursue this passion a bit more seriously consider taking aeromodelling classes.

Aeromodelling involves designing and development small flying objects using the principles of Physics. It is considered a hobby wherein model aeroplanes are built for the sole purpose of fun and learning. It offers a very exciting and interesting way to learn and understand the concept of flying.

Here, Careers360 has listed some of the top institutions and platforms that offer aeromodelling workshops, courses and summer camps for school children. Explore these aeromodelling activities and choose the one that suits you the best.
