This Week in Avation (Nov 16-20)

Dear Parents and students,

This week we will continue to study rockets and navigation.  We will also study the materials of aviation.  And we will design our own composite material. Finally we will start our aviation exhibit project that will be the capstone project for the semester.  The students will be commissioned to build an exhibit to demonstrate their specific interest in aviation.  This week is packed full!
