STEM Part2

As soon as we arrived from Hilton head, I had to go and find us a hotel to stay in Charlotte that night as Titus got a shower and all his civil air patrol stuff together. We grabbed a bite to eat. We were back on the road, Charlotte is about a 3 Hour Dr. from our house and we got there around 8 PM.  We stopped at a Panera on our way in for a late dinner.

The hotel was clean and safe and that's how we really cared about and it was eight minutes from the aviation Institute of maintenance where he had eight hours of classes starting at 8 AM the next morning thankfully the hotel provided breakfast so after eating I dropped him off and managed a late checkout so I could just chill in the room for most of the day, the rest of the day I went to a bass pro shop nearby, wandering the store and all the RVs on display outside.  

Titus said the much more entertaining day. The first class was on propulsion and his second class was on materials as his group finished their propulsion exercise first they actually got to stand in front of a propeller model and get blown away by the wind. In his materials class, they learned how to mend metal and how to apply fiberglass to model airplanes, which would be the same process for doing it on real planes or as Titus put it fixing big red.

Now Titus has completed all the classes necessary for his stem badge at Civil Air Patrol when he gets home, he just has to write a dossier turn it in to complete badge.
