The goal of this program is to help promote the pursuit of science and technology by our youth and appeal to a broad range of interests. The Summer Program is being expanded with more interesting and challenging content. We are investing in technology such as flight simulators to enhance the understanding of the principles of flight not to mention the excitement of a virtual flight. We are adding guest speakers.
