MIDDLE SCHOOL FLIGHT AND SPACE

Journey Middle School’s Flight and Space - PLTW students are taking learning to new heights! ✈️🚀

Teacher Kaleb Hood challenged students with a “Test Flight Challenge” to explore how airplanes move and fly.

Students learned about pitch, yaw, roll, airfoils, and lift, then designed and tested their own Straw Jets.

Through multiple test flights, students modified their wing designs, measured flight distances, and collected data to see how their designs performed.

It’s hands-on learning, problem-solving, engineering, and data analysis—all taking place in the classroom and hallway!

Learning by doing. Exploring possibilities. Elevating excellence at Journey Middle School!

The future starts here!

The Northrop Grumman High School Involvement Partnership (HIP) mentoring program is a two-year initiative designed for high school juniors and seniors to inspire and prepare students for STEM careers through mentorship, hands-on projects, technical seminars, and site visits. Throughout the program, students connect directly with industry professionals while developing valuable technical and professional skills that can lead to future internship opportunities.

Students work closely with Northrop Grumman employees, participating in monthly technical seminars and collaborative, hands-on experiences. Juniors complete monthly webinars to learn more about the company and the wide range of industries Northrop Grumman supports, while also developing and presenting an identity map. They also attend the senior presentations to gain insight into the program’s culminating projects.

Seniors collaborate on cross-school design teams made up of students from across North Alabama. Working outside of school hours, teams complete an engineering design challenge that includes research, prototype development, testing, and data analysis. The program culminates with each team presenting its final design challenge solution, prototype, and findings to mentors and audience members, followed by professional feedback and Q&A.

Congratulations to our students for completing a year of hard work and dedication!
