Rocket Competition to Rocket Builders
Funded Nov 28, 2022First, thank you for supporting the next generation of aerospace/aviation technicians. Also, it will provide insight into the following procedures and inspections required in the manufacturing process. Finally, your donation will allow training for students that will end up working at Embraer, SpaceX, Collins Aerospace, L3Harris, Blue Origin, Lockheed Martin, Northrup/Grumman, and more.”

Digital Manuals for Aircraft Maintenance
Funded Sep 4, 2022Seeing eight of the friends who graduated the program in the spring be hire full time by Embraer Aircraft Corporation and two going to Blue Origin inspires them to work hard. Also, fourteen of their friends starting Engineering School and two accepted in FAA A&P programs. There is a bright future ahead for these students as Aerospace/Aircraft workers. The need is increasing over the next several years, it's a race to get students ready for the future with the skills that the industry needs. Now with the increase in technology the most desired skills include problem solving, work relations and work ethics (soft skills). It is no longer enough to be the best technician, now you need to be a great team member. These are the things included in the program in Melbourne Florida at Eau Gallie High School in the heart of the growing Aerospace/Aircraft on the Space coast. After a year that has seen the second pieces of NASA flight hardware made by the students go into space to the International Space Station.”

They will be working on the aircraft and rocket assembly lines, in coating. EGHS is are very proud of the students we have prepared for positions in the Aerospace/Aircraft industry. This year we currently have pass students working at Embraer, SpaceX, Collins Aerospace, L3Harris, Blue Origin, Lockheed Martin, Northrup/Grumman and more. EGHS completes the first set of wheels for the NASA Moon Mining machine. These are the test article set NASA will put on the machine to dig and find out if there is any problems in design or function. Next year the students will build the Like Flight wheel and the Flight Hardware wheels the NASA will lunch to dig on the Moon scheduled in 2024. The experience the students are getting in the engineering process by taking a product from a drawing, to prototype, to test article, to like flight hardware, to Flight Hardware the launches to the Moon, can not overstated or created in a Classroom/lab environment.”
