| Bottle Rocket Launching on Final Day of Lancaster SGA |
Twenty-three middle school students from around the Antelope Valley (and even one from Arizona!) took part in the second annual Summer Gateway Academy held at Lancaster High School 20-24 June 2011. Students learned about CAD drawing, rocketry, aviation/aerospace, robotics, and computer graphics during their week-long experience, taught by Kevin Spoelstra and Duane Robertson, and assisted by student members of Eagle Robotics and Eagle Graphix. During one session, the students were also visited by an outreach team, including a U-2 pilot, from Lockheed Martin Aeronautics in Palmdale, one of the financial contributors to the academy. Some of the students will be participating in pre-engineering courses in the Lancaster School District and AV Union High School District beginning in the fall semester.
