If you’ve ever been to a flagship Maker Faire you might have seen John Collins roaming around holding up his signature ‘the Paper Airplane Guy‘ sign – while in front of him floats, or moves, or perhaps tumbles is the appropriate verb, a paper airplane of an incredibly simple design, The Tumbling Wing. Seemingly simple because it is – and in the video below John walks you through how to build it, along with 4 other paper airplanes including the World Record design.
Watch:
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
