Over 200 years ago and 3,000 feet above Paris, Andre-Jacques Garnerin jumped from a hydrogen balloon. He was the first skydiver and inventor of the parachute. Since his historic jump, humans have used parachutes for various purposes and have been innovating them for even more purposes. From landing exploratory rovers on Mars to recreationally testing the laws of gravity, parachutes are and will be a useful and exciting human innovation. Using 90% reuse materials, RAFT’s Bread Bag Parachute STEAM Project Kit engages students in this exciting innovative history.
