Aerospace Valley Regional

Disappointment, FIRST has suspended the 2020 Season. What suspended means is of question. Trying to get more information. AVR is looking at our future plans and will keep our community informed.

Help needed, Please share

WE know it is true.. Only a month for week 1 events.

OK, We are going to HAVE TO GET THIS FLYOVER at week six AVR! Who can talk to Brigadier General E. John "Dragon" Teichert about making this happen?

This #GivingTuesday, consider donating to Aerospace Valley Robotics in support of STEM education in the Antelope Valley. Learn more and donate at https://www.avregional.org/donation

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our FIRST friends! We hope everyone is safe and warm in this snowy weather. P.S. If you're doing any shopping on Amazon this holiday weekend, consider supporting Aerospace Valley Robotics at no added cost to yourself by shopping through smile.amazon.com and selecting Aerospace Valley Robotics as your charity of choice. For each purchase you make through the smile.amazon.com link, Amazon will donate 0.5% to our non-profit.

Event registration opened 9/19. We want to let you know that AVR 2020 is shaping up to be another great event. One new feature we are looking at implementing is an industry row in the back hallway. This will be an opportunity for students (HS and College) to talk to Aerospace Company Representatives about intern and future job opportunities. Still in planning phases, we will keep our community informed.

Apollo 11 took off at 6:32AM PT on July 16, 1969. As you hear a lot this week about the 50th anniversary of the Lunar Landing by Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Mike Collins. Did you know that Neil Armstrong lived and flew right here in the Antelope Valley as a test pilot for NASA Flight Research Center Center, now named the Neil A. Armstrong Flight Research Center. Also Mike Collins served as a fighter pilot and an experimental test pilot at the Air Force Flight Test Center, Edwards Air Force Base, California, from 1959 to 1963. The Aerospace Valley Regional will continue to honor the women & men that push the envelope everyday in Aviation and Space.
