Taking students to new heights

Posted

ALAMOSA — The Boys and Girls Club of the San Luis Valley and the Colorado Springs-based non-profit Falcon AeroLab spent a day with 25 students from local high schools at the San Luis Valley Airport — both on the ground and in the air, for a fun-filled educational day on Friday, Feb. 16.

Falcon AeroLab innovates education by offering individualized, hands-on, STEM/Aerospace opportunities for middle school and high school students.

Aaron Miltenberger from the Boys and Girls Club of the San Luis Valley said, "This is one of a series of work-based learning exposure workshops that people from the San Luis Valley could get experience with that yield high paying career opportunities."

The Valley Courier will have a feature article on this exciting program next week.
