As you may know Near North's "Career Day" is just around the corner. That's why we're going to showcase some careers that students are interested in. The new feature will be called Career Corner.
Aviation as a Career
As many of you know Steven (Room 207) is an avid fan of aircraft of all kinds. I talked to Steven about his interests and he said that he is especially interested in military aircraft from countries all over the world. He keeps up on what's current but also like to learn about antique aircrafts.
Steven is interested in a career in aviation and would like to get his training by joining the U.S. Air Force. When he completes his time with the Air Force Steven might be interested in designing aircraft.
Steven often shares his aviation knowledge with others, so if you're looking for information on aviation please give Steven a holler.

Below you will find some neat websites to learn more about the world of aviation.
America by Air is a great site to explore. It has all types of games, stories and pictures about aviation and its history.

Learn more about airplanes by creating your own "Shuttle Dart". Click on the image below to get started. Make sure you have a square piece of paper ready. Work with a partner. It will make it more fun and you can help each other.
This is a fun way to practice learning to follow directions!
