Exposing Diverse and Disadvantaged Youth to Engineering Disciplines

"While 87% of U.S. engineers in aerospace and related fields are white, according to the National Science Foundation’s 2022 data, fewer than 15% of engineering roles in UAV disciplines are filled by individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds, highlighting the program’s mission to bridge this gap for youth in engineering."
