    This reply may be a little late!!

    If you get a paper box and add a rim skirt of plastic or rubber sheet, tape on the box rim. On the top of the box install a pipe to support a high speed fan. Add a power switch to control the fan.
    The fan will draw air from the ambient space to boost the box air pressure. This pressure when sufficient to support the box weight will cause to box to hoover the table surface. By then, you have create a hoover craft for the science project.

    Here are some web links on this subject: One call a hovercraft, infact is a plane.
