Earlier this summer, I had the opportunity to take a ride in the company’s CJ3 up to Glasair Aviation. We are currently training a second pilot so there wasn’t an empty seat in the cockpit for me to join my CFI. I was certainly bummed, but there are worse things. Nevertheless, the CJ3 is a…

Less than a week, for more than just $1000

The first idea on that list is “Participate in a STEM night at a grade school.” To give you a better idea of what that could entail,…
Let’s Talk STEM Outreach

It allows individuals to draw in and inspire a perhaps previously unknowing or, already, curious audience. My outreach passion is for the ever growing STEM initiative. Picture Credit…
