The 2010 4-H Aerospace event is scheduled for April 25-26, at 1 p.m., at the University of North Dakota John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences. The event is for youth ages 12 to 15 who are intrigued by aerospace. The NDSU Extension Service, North Dakota 4-H Foundation and University of North Dakota Aerospace are sponsoring the event.
Participants will learn about careers in aerospace sciences and the military, and learn the basics of aircraft structure, navigation and aerodynamics and principles of flight. They also will tour the school, learn about air traffic control, take the controls in a digital aircraft simulator, see a radio-controlled plane presentation and participate in a hands-on 4-H project or activity.
Event organizers recommend one chaperone for every four of five youth. The registration fee for both youth and chaperones is $32 each. The fee includes materials, lodging, two meals and a snack. The registration deadline is April 2. To register online, go to www.ndsu.edu/4h.
