The General Aviation Manufacturers Association and Build A Plane are gearing up for the third installment of their Aviation Design Challenge, in which high schools will put their aviation and aerospace knowledge to the test and compete for the big prize. The Challenge aims to promote science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education.
The first 100 teachers who apply will receive “Fly to Learn” curriculum provided by GAMA, as well as five complimentary copies of airplane design and simulation software powered by X-Plane. Using the lessons, they will apply what they’ve learned to modify and fly their own virtual airplane in a fly-off to win a prize to be announced at a later date.
