Piatt County students will have an opportunity to shoot for the stars and learn about the field of Aerospace 

Anne Reinbold, Educator with the University of Illinois Extension in DeWitt, Macon, and Piatt Counties, explains that from 11 AM to noon on February 16th, she will be leading a workshop all about Aerospace at the Piatt County Extension Office in Monticello. She says the focus will be on building marshmallow rockets. 

Reinbold says while she herself is not an aerospace expert, she enjoyed researching the idea of flight, whether rockets, planes, or birds, while preparing for this workshop. She says we witness it every day, but many don't understand how it works. 

Reinbold reminds that the day of the workshop, February 16th, is Presidents' Day, so many students will be out of school. Learn more about the Aerospace Workshop by visiting extension.illinois.edu/dmp.
