High School and Middle School Students Awarded for Best Aerospace-Related
Projects by AIAA NCS |
Approximately
20 high school and middle school students were awarded prizes for their
innovative aerospace-related science fair projects by the National Capital
Section of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics on June 11,
2010, at the National Capital Section’s Annual Awards Banquet at the Army-Navy
Country Club in Arlington, Virginia. This past spring, members of the AIAA
National Capital Section (NCS) volunteered to select the best aerospace-related
projects in the region’s various science fairs. Volunteer judging teams visited
eight regional science fairs that were held in the National Capital area,
including Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC.
Support from
our Corporate sponsors – U.S. Space & Rocket Center, Lockheed Martin, BAE
Systems, Global Science and Technology – made it possible for AIAA to cover all
of the areas fairs, and enabled us to award tangible prizes to the first, second
and third place winners (Scholarship to Space Camp or Aviation Challenge, $100,
and $75, respectively). Additionally, Honorable Mention certificates were
presented to other fair participants that were worthy of special recognition.
