University of Michigan AIAA Student Branch

Last Saturday, April 12, we held our annual Aerospace Day outreach event, hosting over 100 K-12 students and their parents. With the help of student organizations on campus, participating students had opportunities to engage in a variety of activities, ranging from building hoop gliders to learning the basics of rocketry and bioastronautics trivia. Thank you to all the students who participated and volunteered at the event. A special shout-out to Prof. Veera Sundararaghavan for presenting the keynote speech. We hope to see you back next year!
