There is no charge to students, schools or student organizations for the DiscoverHover hovercraft plans or instructions. The hovercraft can be built for approximately $1,000US, using the free hovercraft plans and instructions provided on the DiscoverHover website. You can reduce the cost of the project even further by securing donations of the engine and other materials from civic-minded businesses in your community. The DiscoverHover website provides information to guide students in raising funds by seeking donations and securing sponsors.
