This high-tech computer classroom is designed to give students (grades 7 and up) a project-based learning environment for applying skills in math and science.
The NASA Flight Training AEL can be operated in one of two modes:

• AERONAUTICS scenario where students gather essential data to complete a cross-country flight
• MICROGRAVITY scenario where students explore phenomena and processes normally masked by the effects of gravity
