Dreams Soar Hangs Out in Houston
|
|
|
|
Universal Weather & Aviation, our partner who provided critical weather support during the Global Flight, hosted Shaesta and Jill at their headquarters in Houston on December 12. Our team received a tour of the operations and met the meteorology team that worked so hard (on their own time as volunteers) to provide weather forecasting and flight-following services. Shaesta gave a presentation on the flight to their employees, along with invited guests from the local Women in Aviation International chapter. Houston-based Dreams Soar team member, Elizabeth Larson, was also in attendance. We would like to thank Lex Den Herder for planning and hosting this event, and also a big thanks to our Universal Weather support team: Jason, Steve, Leora, Tania, Whitney, Karen, Alanna and Jennifer!

Children Inspired Through Robotics
|

Over 300-students, grades fourth through eighth, spent their Saturday at Napper North High School in Illinois. The event is a FIRST Illinois Robotics initiative. FIRST stands for For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology and began in 1989.
This particular competition was themed "hydrodynamics" which encouraged the students to find solutions to modern-day water problems. Students used Legos to build robots to use in 2 and-a-half minute games which each robot needed a specific tool to complete each mission. Many students expressed how much this competition fueled their passion for STEM.
