A Cowan Elementary School 5th grade class recently received a $500 donation from AEDC’s prime contractor Aerospace Testing Alliance. Ted Boswell, an ATA Employee and Community Activities Committee (ECAC) representative, presented the donation which will be used to purchase K’NEX® educational construction sets. K’NEX is used to build basic geometric shapes and structures like simple machines and bridges. Students will be able to address critical mathematics concepts and enhance their understanding of algorithms. They will also research inventions and bridges to help them create their own invention.
