Cradle Trip

Hey Everyone. During the month of November we went on a field trip to the Cradle of Aviation. At the Cradle of Aviation there was a multitude of science, technology, engineering and math(STEM) employers highlighting the STEM careers available on Long Island. Some of these companies included: Northrop Grumman, Seal Dyanmics, Lockheed Martin and Spectronics. Many students during this trip were able to realize if they truly wanted to go into a STEM oriented career in the future by listening to presentations by these employers. When we got to the Cradle of Aviation during the opening notes we listened to a astronaut’s experiences in space. She told us what it was like to live in space and presented various pictures of the Earth from space. Overall it was a great trip where many students got to see the real life careers that correlated to the topics learned in: design technology, electronics, robotics and computer design and drawing.
