Jordan School District students met industry at the 47G Zero Gravity Summit! This year, JSD CTE made it happen—connecting students with top policymakers and global industry leaders. Thanks to our Work-Based Learning Specialist team and a powerful partnership with 47G, Utah high school Aerospace and Engineering students from across the state got rare access to reps from leading companies.
Highlights included presentations from Ben Waldrip (Duncan Aviation), Matt Piosa (Vector Drones), Congressman Blake Moore, and Hill Air Force Base. Plus a panel moderated by Edson Barton, CEO of YouScience, featuring university presidents Brad Mortensen, Shane Smeed, and Jim Taggart. Real-world impact. Real connections. Real opportunities for our students!
