Yesterday I visited the Middle School in Grafton, MA with Flying'sCool! for their Science Career Day. It was a loonnnggg day giving three 90 minute presentations, one for everyone in each grade, but it was a ton of fun! I was very happy to see how well behaved ALL the kids were, especially given the fact that they had to attend so many different presentations. It was a real pleasure presenting for everyone there.
Everyone got to learn about some of the concepts that pilots need to know to fly, and a bunch of kids got to demonstrate some of those concepts using Microsoft Flight Simulator X in front of all their classmates, from learning how to take off and land, navigate from one point to another, to learning about why planes fly (and what might make them stop flying, too).
I want to thank all the kids for making it such a great experience, doing such a good job, and showing so much interest, and especially all the teachers and everyone else who worked with me at the school that made the event such a success.
I had a bunch of requests for where to purchase the hardware and software used in the presentations, and I'll be putting together a page with all that information shortly. You can already find links to it at my site, but I want to put together a more concise version, which I'll post a link here for when it's ready.
