“BLACKBOARD WINGS”
THE VISION
Blackboard Wings is the name of a non-profit member and apprenticeship
training program. It is designed to ’spark’ in those students interested the
computational and technical skills necessary to look into the aerospace field (as a possible career) at an entry level position, depending on their interests will determine which field they would specialize in.
The first upcoming project will be a scale-down flying version of the
presidential aircraft, this will consist of everything from drawing out the
actual plans from which the model will be built, to the design and
installations of all necessary equipment for a fully flyable and controllable
radio control aircraft. The students will be doing all of the hands on
designing and construction of this project using the mentors as guidance and
direction as needed.
The working concept here is to mold these students into a workable team
capable of doing the impossible, because they believe in themselves and the
mentors believe in them. This dispels the myth that the inner city has
nothing to offer, there is a wealth of talent and creatiativity untouched or
rather written off, well, we’re here to correct that, we can because we
believe we can, so let’s get busy!
