Companies Unite to Provide Technology Tools
to Help Aviation Careers Take Flight
Can an aviation-minded teenager collaborate with peers in real
time to design and build an airport of the future? Yes, as part of
Flights of Discovery, an innovative aviation-themed summer camp
program at the non-profit Aviation Museum of NH in Londonderry,
NH.
Connection, in partnership with Microsoft, donated 20 Microsoft
Surface Laptop 5 devices and accessories to the non-profit as part
of the technology solution provider’s Connection Cares initiative.
Flights of Discovery participants will use the Surface devices and
Minecraft virtual construction platform to work together to design
and build the airport of tomorrow. This summer, the exercise will
enable students to use knowledge gained from field trips behind the
scenes at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, a busy commercial
airfield adjacent to the museum.
“Our Surface devices will empower the young people in our camp
program to collaborate in real time and put their newfound
expertise to work,” said Debbora Losch, the Aviation Museum’s
Education Director.
Enabling students to design future airports is just one way the
Aviation Museum is able to use technology to help today's young
people prepare to be tomorrow’s aerospace professionals. The
museum’s fleet of Surface Laptop 5 devices will be used for a wide
variety of activities, including designing airfoils that can be 3D
printed and tested in the museum's wind tunnel. Members of the
Aviation Museum's Yellowbird Society of young people pursuing
aviation careers will use the devices to build their resumes,
practice networking, and design business cards.
Brian Hicks, Sr. VP of Product Management and Operations at
Connection said, “We are thrilled to support the Aviation Museum of
NH and their mission. As a Microsoft Solutions Partner, Connection
is committed to helping organizations of every size and
industry—from education and non-profit to government, healthcare,
and business—connect with the right technology. Thank you to our
partners at Microsoft and to everyone involved in the Flights of
Discovery program for helping empower tomorrow’s visionaries and
leaders with the tools to collaborate, explore new ideas, and bring
their creations to life.”
“With aviation and aerospace a significant player in our
region’s economy, we’re delighted to partner with Connection to use
technology to create programs that will help create tomorrow’s
workforce,” said Jeff Rapsis, Executive Director of the Aviation
Museum of NH. “Collaborating with Connection has made it possible
for our non-profit to use technology to develop creative
programming that can transform the lives of young people,” Rapsis
added.
