Hooper Bay Indoor Flight Competition - Students build, and learn how to fly, indoor free-flight rubber band powered airplanes. Hooper Bay invited Chevak and Nunam Iqua aviation students to the competition. Spring 2009.

On a windy day like today what better excuse than to teach turns around a point. Ground reference maneuvers commonly get taught at the very beginning of a students training just to be neglected later on as an "elementary" flight maneuver. However that is so far from the truth! If students really learned how to compensate for wind using varying bank angles they would fly better traffic patterns and improve all aspects of their flying

"The corner was enclosed by plastic from floor to ceiling and inside sat a plane, wings folded toward the ceiling and a paint job that left more to be desired. It was the Seafire XV - one of only a handful still in existence. As soon as I saw the plane and learned a few facts about it, I knew I wanted to do a story on it and follow Cooper through the rest of the restoration process."

the Space Shuttle Experience! In conjunction with the 30th anniversary of the Space Shuttle Program and the upcoming final flight, NASA has released the Space Shuttle Experience website. This comprehensive and interactive tool provides a multitude of resources for students of all education levels. Users can participate in a variety of interactive experiences to learn about the Space Shuttle Program's accomplishments, what it takes to launch a shuttle, astronaut living, how the program affects life daily here on Earth and much more. The site uses several engaging features that will keep students enthralled, including trivia games with Facebook score sharing, a poll for users to vote on the program's greatest achievement and a virtual signature wall which gives users the opportunity to leave a personal message to the program. And the fun and education doesn't stop when students log off; the site also includes lesson plans that correspond with the site's activities. As an educator, all the resources are supplied to seamlessly walk your students from the activities they experience online into engrossing lessons in the classroom.
