A real-world design challenge created by Cessna engineers and Build A Plane – a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting aviation and aerospace careers – could pull students towards engineering and science.
“This is an unprecedented opportunity for students to have access to some of the best minds in the country,” says Build A Plane’s Lyn Freeman. The US Department of Energy is a main sponsor and the final competition is at the National Academy of Engineering in Washington, DC.
