Junior Engineering Day @ NASAM – 28th May 2019
On Tuesday (28th May 2019), 18 youngsters took part in our latest Junior Engineering day at the Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum, completing 30 sessions between them. Activities included constructing some simple electronic circuits after first learning to solder and read a circuit diagram. Assembling a birdbox from wood components, making a tool rack from first principles, from metal.
Others learned how to fly a light aeroplane on our simulators so that they could fly a circuit from take off, climb, turns, then land back on the same runway. Another activity was learning how to navigate an aeroplane through the vagaries of the wind and what sort of features to look for whilst flying.
Younger participants had a couple of craft activities to choose from and could decorate a keepsake box and/or make a nameplate.
Many of the parents took the opportunity to wander around the museum or make use of the NAAFI cafe.
The next Junior Engineering Day will be on Tuesday 22nd October and booking will open during August.
What a great day.
