Retired AFFTC Engineer Helps Students Assemble Solar Cars

Students Experiment with Solar Cars
 Thirty-two enthusiastic, local Antelope Valley middle school students participated in the third annual Summer Gateway Academy at Knight High School 11-15 July.  Among the activities they completed included bottle rockets, "Eggstronauts," robotics, bridge-building, and solar cars.  Volunteers from Lockheed Martin and NASA made presentations and assisted students with projects.  Instructor Bill Lewis hosted an open house with astronomy and rocket launching on Thursday evening, and there was a "culmination" ceremony on Friday afternoon, both of which were attended by parents.
