Project Title: Aerospace Classroom

Category: STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)

Funding Amount Requested: $1000

Project Description:
Our school has just built a new CTE building, and part of that project is the aerospace program. We are designing a room dedicated to the aerospace program, which will include a flight simulator, model airplane design, etc. What is needed is to decorate the room as an aerospace environment to possibly entice students into the aerospace industry. The desired funds would be used to create that environment. Our program is for high school, but elementary and middle school students are introduced to the simulator for open house, etc.

Impact:
Our desired outcome from the funds would be to create an environment where students walk in and are instantly saturated with the aerospace industry, hopefully creating interest in the program and a possible career.

Use of Funds:
The funds will be used for aerospace decoration and props. These will be hung on the walls and possibly the ceiling. Posters and full wall pictures will be purchased to create a warm environment for the thrill of flight.
