TEXARKANA, Ark. -- The Arkansas High School Air Force Junior ROTC program recently received a $2,000 Teaching Tool Grant awarded by the AFCEA Ark-La-Tex Chapter.
The money is for science, technology, engineering and mathematics education.
Douglas McLane, AFJROTC instructor, said the funds will be used to recreate the first Apollo mission by designing a model diorama of the space exploration missions of the United States.
"The cadets will build model rockets and a launchpad to aid in the space exploration curriculum for the 2022-23 school year," he said.
McLane will attend the award ceremony May 4 at the LSU-Shreveport Cyber Collaboratory. The ceremony will air on the "Rick Rowe Morning Show" on KTBS.
