Mrs. Lindsey Mitko, Pleasant Hills Middle School
 
A group of Mrs. Mitko's students on team 7-2 had the opportunity to video conference with T. Kelly Witherspoon at the John C. Stennis Space Center.  The students were able to discover how mathematics is used in air traffic control to prevent collisions.  Students used an air flight simulator to solve air traffic control problems and they were also able to create and solve their own flight collision problems.
