Build a Paper Airplane Launcher

The video tutorial explains the difficulty of throwing a paper airplane using only the wrist and provides a step-by-step guide to building a paper airplane launcher using a paperclip, rubber band, and pencil. It encourages viewers to experiment with different materials like cardboard, LEGOs, K'NEX, or wood to create their own launchers. The video also suggests testing the launcher's performance in an open area and directs viewers to Science Buddies for more project ideas.
