IN RESPONSE TO YESTERDAY’S ENGINEERING POST, reader Jody Dorsett writes:

For the last ten years the National Association of Rocketry has been conducting a contest with the AIA. Our goal is to get kids interested in science and particularly in Aerospace sciences. Like Peter Kalogiannis, our hope is to bring more young adults into science tracks so we have a continuing supply of engineers and scientists for the Aerospace Industry. This year’s contest will end in May. But next year’s contest starts in September. If your readers have children in High School and they are interested in science and the future as a I suspect most are…they need to be asking their High School why their kids aren’t competing.

Very cool.
