Glimpse of the one week 2018 Flight Test Camp (FTC) recently completed for 19 local high school students. #STEM #MASP #Aerospace #Engineering

The National Test Pilot School (NTPS) completed its sixth annual one week Flight Test Camp (FTC) for 19 students from seven local high schools from 18-22 June 2018. The focus of NTPS FTC is STEM oriented and three-fold: 1) introduce high school students to engineering generally and flight test engineering specifically as possible fields of study and careers; 2) introduce our local young people to the amazing array of high tech aerospace companies that exist right in their back yard at the Mojave Air and Space Port (MASP); and 3) show the students the numerous interesting and exciting jobs they could have with an engineering background.

New students in the Professional Course 2018A and Systems 2018 have successfully navigated the first week of the school year! Congratulations and we're just getting started :)
