Eight EASA students (mostly juniors and seniors) in the Engineering Projects 3 class are<br />
working with <strong>Evergreen</strong> docents to construct paper and balsa model aircraft. Students meet in<br />
the Model Aircraft area in the <strong>Evergreen</strong> <strong>Space</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> every other day for 80 minutes to cut,<br />
glue, sand and assemble their planes. After all is complete the propeller and rubber band are<br />
attached and the plane takes a test flight. This opportunity gives EASA students a chance to do<br />
something that would not normally be offered in a regular classroom instruction and is also a<br />
project that gets them focused on step-by-step procedure, detailed assembly and<br />
documentation. Thanks to <strong>Evergreen</strong> docent mentors Cecil and Mitch!<br />
