Kites fly above Hilltop Farm on a previous Earth Day celebration.
Come to Hilltop Farm on April 22 and celebrate Earth Day. From 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. there will be a special program to build and fly kites. Participants can choose a kite design and build it right there. Participants will learn how each kite style uses the flow of air to create lift around the kite and carry it up into the sky.
This project is developed by a member of Suffield Troop 10961 as part of her Girl Scout Silver Award Project. The project uses the concepts of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) to determine how the kites fly and how high it will rise. All ages are welcome to join. Kites will be available for purchase or bring your kite along. Share how your kite flies or just add your kite to the sky. We look forward to seeing you there.
