The TryEngineering Summer Institute partnered with the Space Explorers: The Infinite for an awesome space exploration experience for the students. They donned their virtual goggles and toured the International Space Station to learn about life in space as an astronaut. Our campers were so inspired!

As our skies and low Earth orbit grow more congested, the need for smart autonomous systems has never been greater. AE Professor Sarah H.Q. Li is tackling this challenge head-on with algorithmic solutions.

Georgia Tech aerospace engineering student Elise Regalado is taking on 70.3 Boise, and turning every mile into momentum for something bigger.

While training for a 70.3-mile race (1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike, 13.1-mile run), Elise is also raising $5,000 to support for women pursuing .

From logging 50–90 training miles a week on campus to applying aerodynamics principles on the bike, she’s proving that engineering and endurance go hand in hand.

What's Next for the Class of 2026 as They Forge Their Own Paths The sky is not the limit for these amazing graduates.

What if the smartest robots don’t rely on code, sensors, or even electronics?

researchers are rethinking what “intelligence” means in robotics—by building robotic swarms whose behavior emerges entirely from mechanical design.

No processors. No . No software. Instead, intelligence is encoded in shape, structure, and interaction.

Led by Bolei Deng and researchers in the AE School, this work shows how simple units can exhibit complex, coordinated behavior when designed to respond physically to their environment.

AE School Remains No. 2 in 2026 Graduate Rankings U.S. News & World Report ranks the AE School No. 1 among public institutions.

We’re dreaming of a new home for GT Aerospace, and The Delta Air Lines Foundation is helping us move it closer to reality.

The Foundation is committing $5 million to the project, which could look something like this.

The new building will elevate one of the nation’s top-ranked aerospace programs, fuel Georgia’s economy, and accelerate innovation across the aviation industry.
