On Friday, the program will take a field trip to Inner Banks STEM Center in Washington, N.C. to experience flying both a desktop flight training device and a full motion airplane flight simulator. This class is made possible by the Inner Banks STEM Center. The program will take place from July 19–22 and costs $90.

Finally, participants will set up and run a 3-D printer to create that object that they will carry home. All supplies included.
