NASA, FAA and Virginia Students to Demonstrate 'Smart Skies'

NASA, FAA and Virginia Students To Demonstrate 'Smart Skies'

In an effort to foster student development in science, technology, engineering and math skills, NASA and the FAA have established a partnership to bring 50 local students to the David J. Hurley Air Traffic Control System Command Center May 9 for a demonstration of the new program.

The cooperative agreement will offer a broad range of educational activities, including "Smart Skies," an online air traffic control simulator for fifth through ninth grade students. ANN reported on the program at this year's Women in Aviation International.

Students will tour the Air Traffic Control System Command Center and have the opportunity, with the aid of FAA experts, to solve air traffic control problems using the Smart Skies simulator. Smart Skies provides a fun and exciting way for students to learn math and be exposed to high technology careers related to aviation.

NASA developed the program with assistance from air traffic controllers at the FAA's Oakland, CA, facility.
