Using Aviation and Aerospace Engineering to education youth across the country. The City of Georgetown also provided some initial funding for the project.
Students from Georgetown High School and East View High School are building a fully functional airplane as part of the Georgetown ISD's Aerospace Engineering course. We are hosting a media day on November 30, 2016 and encourage you to come experience this unique course firsthand. About
The Aerospace Engineering class is a new dual college and high school credit course offered this year by Georgetown Independent School District. The STEM course offers high school students the opportunity to participate in building a functioning two seat metal RV-12 airplane. The project is a partnership between GISD, Project Lead the Way and local Georgetown non-profit TangoFlight. The course is unique in providing a college level curriculum with hands on experience building an airplane. The two seater airplane will be built using kits purchased through Van's Aircraft, an aviation company in Aurora, Oregon. East View High School teacher Dan Weyant leads the class composed of 24 students, 12 from East View High School and 12 from Georgetown High School. Due to the complexity of the build, the course is housed at East View High School in the Career and Technical Education center.

We're flying! Our student plane-building program was the focus of a story posted online today by Flying Magazine, a leading national aviation publication. The story, by Meg Godlewski, focused on how the Aviation Museum of New Hampshire, in partnership with Tango Flight, has facilitated plane-building programs at three Granite State high schools: the Manchester School of Technology, Lebanon High School, and Farmington High School. Not sure if the piece will be published in the magazine's print edition, but you can check out the online version via the link in the comments below.
