Cobra Helicopter coming to Seneca High School

In a continued effort to inspire the next generation of engineers and to provide a sustainable STEM literate workforce, Celebrate Freedom Foundation (“CFF”) will bring its specialized Project SOaR™ (Student Opportunity and Recruitment), educational outreach program to Seneca High School on Wednesday, Nov. 1. The Celebrate Freedom Foundation is a non-profit educational and historical 501(c)(3) corporation dedicated to educating children, promoting lasting patriotism and honoring the military – past, present and future. As part of the program, students, faculty and staff will have an opportunity to learn about the physics of flight, the operation of turbo-jet engines, composite materials and a host of other scientific disciplines as represented by the Cobra helicopters. “CFF developed Project SOaR™ as a means to connect and stimulate students interested in real-world careers in the aerospace, automotive and manufacturing that reinforce formal classroom STEM subjects and is presented by subject matter experts with CFF,” said Jack Lovelady, President of CFF. “The SOaR™ program brings unprecedented technologies and resources directly to the students to facilitate immersive learning sessions with subject matter experts from around the country.” By using high-industrial technology and U.S. military aviation and transportation resources as a platform for the curriculum, the program incorporates hands-on activities, experiments and simulations to stimulate students of all ages. The $10 million AH-1F military-grade helicopters certainly help to keep the student’s attention. The all-day event will feature exhibits with UAVs and manufacturing tools used in aviation and automotive industry.
