Some fifty educators in the
field of aerospace education
in grade schools and high
schools throughout Colorado
attended a one-day conference
at Adams State College in Alamosa conducted by Max Ogle,
Aerospace Education Officer
for the Rocky Mountain Region.
Ogle described progress made
in the field of aerospace education in America and the work
that has been done in Colorado
to provide an opportunity for
youngsters to participate in
the program.
Jame Muncey of Clinton Aviation in Denver showed a film
describing the need for such
a program in the schools and
the result of efforts by educators who take an active
role in developing and promoting aerospace and aviation
classes in the school.
The program began with a
welcome from Adams State College faculty members and a
brief description of progress
being made in aerospace in
the schools and the role played by colleges in preparing
teachers for their job.
Noel Bullock, Aerospace and
Aviation teacher at Hinkley
High School in Aurora, described each of the 16 phases
of the two semester program
offered by his school and the
close affiliation between the
classroom group and the Aviation Club at Hinkley High
School.
