Free STEM Competition for U.S. High Schools

Good Morning,

I'm reaching out about the General Aviation Manufacturers Association's (GAMA) annual competition to promote STEM skills in U.S. high school students through aviation curriculum and a virtual fly-off. We opened registration for the 2020 Aviation Design Challenge on August 17, with slots available for the first 150 high school teachers that enter. There are still 100 slots available!

The competition is free – we provide a curriculum developed in alignment with national STEM standards along with the world's top software for personal computers through a partnership with Fly to Learn and X-Plane. The winning team receives an all-expenses-paid trip to experience general aviation manufacturing firsthand, and the team placing second receives a prize of an in-school, two-day STEM Lab Camp hosted by Redbird Flight Simulations.

You, or interested parties, can learn more about the Aviation Design Challenge, and register, on our website: http://bit.ly/2idxzkF

Please let me know if you need additional information.
