Science grant introduces aviation to Alabama students
Tuskegee University will introduce aviation to Alabama middle school students and teachers, thanks to a $482,107 grant from the National Science Foundation.
The university announced May 20 that installing flight simulators in Macon County classrooms would bolster science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning for students and their teachers.
An aerospace specialist and a mathematics professor are steering the three-year project that begins Sept. 1.
“Exposure of middle school students to this learning environment at Tuskegee University will enhance learning, excite interest, and motivate our target audience,” said Tuskegee math expert Chadia Affane Aji, who is helping lead the project.
