Fleet Readiness Center East (FRCE) electrical engineer Zachary Shuler, left, and FABLAB Lead Engineer Christopher Rivera, middle, assist sixth graders at Grover C. Fields Middle School with their foam gliders. As a part of FRCE’s outreach program, engineers took the FABLAB, a mobile makerspace, to the local school and provided students from the Academically and Intellectually Gifted (AIG) program with engaging STEM-based activities. FRCE engineers introduced the students to the basic concepts of fixed wing flight prior to helping them assemble their own foam gliders. Students then used their newfound knowledge to perform tests on the gliders’ center of gravity to promote optimal flight stability.
