Настало время для средних школ по всей стране зарегистрироваться для участия в пятом ежегодном конкурсе GAMA / Build a Plana Aviation Design Challenge., национальный конкурс, который продвигает студенческую науку, технологии, инженерные науки и математика (STEM) навыки и побуждает молодых людей думать о будущей карьере в авиации общего назначения, в том числе бизнес-авиации.
The annual contest is sponsored by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (ГАМА), and provides a unique opportunity to involve students in a fun and educational STEM activity while also learning about careers in aviation. “As our industry looks for more talented young people to fill the variety of aviation jobs that will open up in the coming years, this program has proven to be an excellent entry point for high school students and a valuable educational resource for their teachers, наставники, and administrators,” said GAMA President and CEO Pete Bunce.
The deadline for high schools to register for the competition is Jan. 20, 2017, and registration is limited to the first 100 U.S. high schools that complete the registration form. Teams must include at least four students – with at least one male and one female student – and only one team per school may enter. The curriculum can be completed by either high school classes or after-school programs.
Competition participants will receive complimentary “Fly to Learn” curriculum and software powered by X-Plane that teaches aerodynamic and aviation engineering principles. Teachers guide students through the science of flight and airplane design, and each team will apply what they have learned by modifying the design of an airplane. The schools will then compete in a virtual fly-off, which will be scored on aerodynamic and performance parameters while flying a specific mission profile.
