• "Our program consists of learning about the physics of aerodynamics, which gives us students insight to the life of an aerospace engineer. I loved that while we learned a lot, we also have had a lot of time in making rockets and planes. Our teacher made the class interesting while educational and fun. Overall, I have loved this course and I have learned a lot."
