2025 Aviation STEM Day
On Tuesday, 6/2/2025, a group of students had the unique opportunity to attend an Aviation STEM Day at the Franconia Airport, thanks to the partnership between the Hugh Gallen CTC and Franconia Soaring Foundation. The students spent the day learning about airport operations, safety, and flight science from expert pilots, certified flight instructors, and aviation professionals. There were also flight simulators on hand for students to practice their piloting skills. The day's highlight was an introductory flight in a glider for each student. Mr. Brown and Mrs. Cox arranged this incredible excursion to build interest in the CTC's new Robotics, Aerospace, and Design (RAD) Program, which will feature new CTC courses next year. A special thanks to the Franconia Soaring Foundation and Franconia Soaring Association members for making this a memorable experience!
