have qualified for the
2010 Washington Aerospace Scholar Summer Residency
The students named above are among 160 talented juniors from across the state whose academic performance on the WAS Phase I curriculum qualified them for Phase II – the WAS Summer Residency.
Phase II of WAS is a six-day summer residency experience. In each of the residency sessions, four teams of Scholars work cooperatively to plan a human mission to Mars with support from professional engineers/scientists, university students, and certificated educators. Each session also includes briefings from aerospace professionals, tours of engineering facilities, and hands-on engineering challenges involving model rocketry, robotics, landing devices, and payload lofting. The daily schedule is quite full, and the students lodge in double rooms at a local hotel under the supervision of certificated teachers. Travel, lodging, and meal expenses are provided to participating students and teachers thanks to the WAS Foundation and our many generous donors.
We encourage you to acknowledge this achievement in your school community and invite you to view the final projects created by our scholars at: www.was200910groupisgreat.info
