The Central Jersey Aviation Education Science Club (CJAESC) How to get involved \| Upcoming Meetings and Events \| Past Meetings and Events The science club that was created through the Garrett A. Morgan Technology and Transportation Education Program Grant is continuing as the Central Jersey Aviation Education Science Club. The club is open to any and all students interested in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) with a focus on Aviation Transportation. The club had its first informational meeting at Delaware Valley Regional High School in December, 2011. 13 students from DVRHS, Jim Gessner (science teacher - DVRHS), and Linda Castner (Alexandria Airport - Part-Owner/Operator) were present. It was agreed the club would rotate its meeting locations as more students from different schools join. Alexandria Airport will be the local airport used. The "Magic of Alexandria" Aviation Education Science Club Courtesy Car will continue to provide funding for the club's activities through the Hunterdon County Chamber of Commerce Adventure Package. For more information on the Courtesy Car and Adventure Package, click here. A schedule of meetings and events will be posted here in early 2012. It is anticipated the club will do "hands-on" engineering projects, as well as visit aerospace companies, corporate aviation departments, university engineering schools, simulator facilities, military bases, and the Intrepid Museum. It is also anticipated that the Courtesy Car donations will be used for flights in different aircraft and building supplies for projects.

Torkel Tellefsen went out of his way to provide a wonderful learning experience for all. The classroom presentation, as well as the walking tour, provided the opportunity for many questions. The added MAN Diesel & Turbo "goodie bags" provided for everyone, were both educational and fun. 2.
