On Monday, February 3, 2020, Raven sponsored the Women in Science and Engineering (WiSE) Forum at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SD Mines) in Rapid City, SD. The event was attended by about 100 female engineering students, as well as numerous SD Mines faculty and staff. Sara Venhuizen, Raven Aerostar Systems Engineering Team Lead, represented Raven as part of the forum's panel discussion.
To support Engineering Week and STEM involvement, Raven’s Bridget Sea and Jim Nelson speak with KELOLAND Living about Engineering Career Day. Raven hosts, this annual event, for high school students to get real-life application and hands on experience centered around Engineering careers.
To encourage and educate young women in STEM, a recent Raven Aerostar research and development flight carried a special guest to the stratosphere. Barbie® courageously made the trek to space via a Cyclone Zero-Pressure Balloon System to provide a beautiful display of our stratospheric platforms. This was then used to educate 25 Junior Girl Scouts from the Sioux Falls area at our "Solving Great Challenges: Connecting and Protecting the World" event in January 2020.
Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) issued Aerostar Technical Solutions a 5-year multiple award contract with a $982,100,000 ceiling.
Congratulations to Raven Aerostar's Angie Meyer, Peggy Mach, and Audrey Nelson for winning our Team Member Spotlight! The late arrival of the Project Atlas Defense module in Aerostar's implementation process not only added a lot of functionalities, but also reversed previous decisions. Read how the trio led efforts to successfully navigate this ambiguous situation.
