AEROSPACE ELECTIVE MODULE

Elective Module Description

Aeronautics Elective Module was first introduced by Just Fly It in Secondary Schools in 2013. In its first year of introduction alone, 18 schools took it up as one of the elective modules. With multiple reviews and evolution, the Aerospace Elective Module aims to give students a taster of the Industry and expose aspiring students to the career options and tertiary options.


This elective module comprises of a short theory lesson to give students foundational knowledge on the principles of flight spread out over the multiple days. Through a hands-on approach, the students will then apply science concepts to design and build a plane or a quadcopter. As a reward, the students will get to test flight their product on the last day under the guidance of the trainer.
