Now I need to plan the workshops, and I'm asking for suggestions for
activities,


Model aircraft Clubs often do this sort of thing, so you might get some
good ideas from them, if you can contact a club in you area. (Links
below, to find clubs).

A club may also be able to provide some resources, such as small scale
airfoils, propellors, even scale-like engines. If you get real lucky
and find someone who designs, you might even find a scale wind-tunnel.

Most model stuff is non-scale, but a lot is. The Cessna Skylane is
popular by builders so it might be relatively easy to find one for a
static display.

If you cannot visit the airport, but there is a reasonably open park
nearby, a member might be able to demonstrate flight with a
rubber-powered or electric-powered "small-field" model, if that would be
useful for your goals.

List of clubs can be found at:

Good luck...
