Aero-News Quote of the Day

"The American Rocketry Challenge definitely sets a high standard for STEAM education in this nation and that made it an easy choice for the Spirit of Flight voters. The past awardees and the challenging criteria for this award put it among the most sought after in aerospace. The American Rocketry Challenge's worthiness comes by way of its multifaceted benefits to aviation; from offering hands-on STEAM principles to students in 6th to 12th grade and encouraging them to consider and pursue careers in aerospace. It's a win-win for our industry."
