By Zenon Neta

In MMSD’s Flight and Drone Technology Career and Technical Education Summer Discovery Program, middle schoolers get a hands-on look at the world of aviation.

Highlights include learning about the forces of flight, designing and flying rockets and drones plus a field trip to the airport. Instructor Grant Hilsabeck calls it an “all encompassing week of learning.”

This unique program allows students to explore careers in aviation, ultimately preparing them with an option for a potential high-wage career.
