Two female students stand outside and one is throwing a foam airplane into the air

Sixth grade students at Grover C. Fields Middle School test the aerodynamics of the foam gliders they made with the help of Fleet Readiness Center East (FRCE) engineers. FRCE sent two engineers to provide the students with hands-on, STEM-based learning experiences. The engineers introduced the students to the basic concepts of fixed wing flight, which applies to any aircraft that does not primarily use rotating blades to generate lift.
