Today we’re going to talk about the Aerospace Industry.
What kind of jobs do you think people might have who work in the Aerospace Industry?
What kinds of skills do you think those people should
have?

GO BUILD! GO FLY!
Goal: Construct your airplane so that it stays in the air for the longest time.
You have 15 minutes to complete this task!
