Recap of our Tuesday this STEAM Week!! From collecting data to spreading our wings and learning to fly. A big thanks to our speakers Christine and Annaliese Jorgenson who were able to share their expertise in the field of aerospace. The children learned how to design their own tester plane as well as what could be done to improve it! Stay tuned!

STEAM SPEAKER SPOTLIGHT (DAY 2):

Annaliese is a Junior Aerospace Engineering Student at Wichita State University, and President of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics student organization. She is a proud Rudd Scholar and has a passion for aviation and for building up the next generation of STEM students!

Activity: Working as aerospace engineers for Wichita Airlines, students will use the engineering design process to test and modify the "League 42 Paper Jet". By collecting data in their “flight logs,” they will determine whether their design changes increased the travel distance and provide a final engineering recommendation to the airline.
