For five days, 5th graders step into a STEM lab on Maxwell Air Force Base and get their hands on the tools, technology, and challenges that engineers actually use. They're building. Designing. Testing. Problem-solving. Working in teams to explore concepts that textbooks can't teach.
They're learning about:
✈️ Aerodynamics and fluid mechanics
🛰️ 3D computer-aided design for engineering
🤖 Navigation, mapping, and innovation
🔬 Chemistry, physics, and the building blocks of matter
And here's the key: many of them discover career paths they didn't even know existed.
This is how curiosity becomes a career path.
Check out what they're doing and how it works.
