Parachutes constructed from coffee filters, string, with a paper clip for weight, were launched by holding them over an electric blower.

Another exhibit allowed kids to construct their own model airplanes using cardboard, tubing, and tape. Once constructed, the kids could wait in line to have their creation launched from a catapult.

A common catapult was used to launch all constructed planes. This insured that all planes were launched using the same force, thereby allowing them to compete for the longest flight.

One of the exhibits at the NASA booth was an infrared camera. A kid standing in front of it was drawn in a representation of heat.
