Bright young minds from the I Promise School, Akron Public Schools enjoyed an interactive field trip to 17cÍøÒ³°æ that included visits to five interactive stations, including Simulation/Air Traffic Control, Engineering Challenges, Drone Operations, Airplane Preflight and Aircraft Lift and Drag demonstrations.
Faculty, staff and students from 17cÍøÒ³°æ’s College of Aeronautics and Engineering and the 17cÍøÒ³°æ Airport coordinated the day’s activities as 80 sixth graders experienced highlights of the university’s facilities and programs.
