Paper Airplanes• How good can you get at making paper airplanes?

• Use just 1⁄4 of an A4 sheet • Each plane must have a blunt tip. Scissors will be provided to cut

off the sharp tip. • Each airplane must fly 3 meters in the testing area – only 1 trial. • Only successfully tested planes count towards your goal • Planes may only be flown in the testing area. • Each team member may only do 1 “fold” of the paper at a time.

You must then pass the airplane to another team member to do the next fold.

• Work in progress must be discarded at the end of each Sprint
