Exiting learning
650 students completed the educational module «Up in the Air with Numbers», where they learned mathematical concepts related to aviation by converting units, creating a flight plan, and executing their route on flight simulator panels. Out of the visiting students, 88.5 % stated that the teaching in the Newton room was exciting and interesting. 
– Flying on simulators was amazing. It was a little bit difficult, but with the instructors’ help, everything was much easier and it made me concentrated and I could get acquainted with pilots’ work. I was so satisfied after flying on simulator. It made me so happy! said a visiting student. 
– My favourite part was flying on the simulator, it’s been one of my biggest dreams to pilot a plane,” one visitor said. 

Unforgettable
The team in Lodz consisted of two teachers from the High School, with a background in physics and biography, and four flight simulator instructors, who were graduates of the High School. 

– We were very happy to be able to host the Newton Room in our school – it was an unforgettable educational experience for both students and teachers concludes Mr. Tomasz Kozera.

Boeing, FIRST Scandinavia, Lodz University of Technology , and Lodz Technical University High School collaborated  to make the project possible.
