Today I came up with an article called "High-school aerospace engineers design real-world light sport aircraft" by John Isaac, director of market development, Mentor Graphics Mechanical Analysis Division. It explained that High schools are going into competitions with other high schools and the program is called Real World Design Challenge (RWDC) which is funded by by government agencies like NASA, the FAA, and some of the world’s leading 40 aerospace companies including Northrup Grumman, Pratt and Whitney, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, SPACEX, and Cessna. The winner will go to Washington D.C. Every year Mentor Graphics and PTC donate over 700 million dollars' which is for software products that include training in the school. Some experts go to the school to help the students with the Aerospace design processes. The competition is free from charge and the teams travel to D.C. for Nationals which the sponsors pay for. A high school that has win twice is Baldwin High School in Baldwin, Kansas. This will help students to get a good education on college for what they have made and when they graduate college they could get hired by a good Aerospace Engineering program.
