"My son was really interested in “Aerospace Activities.” There were some activities he could take and do by himself and some he needed a little adult help with. There is a big range of projects – to do on his own, with his brother or with me.
There were projects in there I recognized but wouldn’t have thought to introduce them at his level. I have an engineering background and studied many of these topics at the college level so I was pleased to see them presented at such early grade levels.
I also liked that positive role models were often linked to the activities." – Mary Beth K. Mom and Bioengineer, Minnesota
“I finally had a chance to review your Aerospace Activities CD. AMAZING. You've done a really thorough job compiling all available resources on aerospace. It took me a long time to digest it all because I got side-tracked opening up very fascinating link to learn more. Your CD made me feel like an inquisitive kid again.
The content of this CD is impressive. I can't believe all of the work you did to synthesize the material and interconnect the many links to resources. Your CD is the end product of a VERY, VERY creative effort on your part. Half the fun was seeing how your mind worked to compile and logically organize the wealth of inspiring aeronautical information it contains. The CD is definitely a testament to YOUR brain power because it immediately engages the viewer. If Aerospace Activities doesn't mentally jumpstart teachers and students, I don't know what will.
In fact, you have gathered so much good material; maybe you could break out a separate CD for young girls -- girls who are aspiring to become pilots and astronauts? It's never too early, or too late, to Dream Big, and Aerospace Activities will show women of all ages how to turn their dreams of flying into reality.
Thank you for the sneak peek of your wonderful project. You've done a fantastic job starting your entrepreneurial venture. Your love for the subject definitely shows.” – Barbara S. Science Writer, Washington
