Keeping Kids Engaged with Aerospace

West Valley Junior High's very own Drone and Aviation Manfuacturing teacher, Ben Green, has made it his mission to keep kids building during the statewide COVID 19 shutdown.  


Mr. Green has produces hundreds of cardboard gliders which allow students to apply the principles of flight; lift, force, thrust, and drag, in the real world.  


Gliders are handed out to students during our school lunch directibution with special deliveries made by parent request.  Mr. Green stated, "Our kids and families are dealing with a lot right now, its important I do what I can so they have what they need to learn."


All gliders are produced from sheets of cardboard at West Valley Junior High from designs provided by Flite Test Stem.
