The 19th annual Young Astronaut Day was held on
Saturday, Nov. 5, from 9:30am to 3pm at NASA’s Glenn
Research Center. Birchwood School’s Pilot team was one
of the 28 schools and youth organizations. Teams came
as far away as Columbus and Cincinnati to participate in
fun and competitive events that were designed to stimulate
student interest in aeronaut ics, space science and
engineering. The four chaperons, Mr. Bindra, Mrs. Kumar,
and Mr. Shetty were a big help to the team composed of:
Sahej B, Avi B, Laurie C, Nikhita K, Abigail M, Mihir
S, Maryum A, Anika R, and Caroline V. Out of the four
events, Birchwood earned a third place in Aeronautics.
