Mentoring
I taught Aerospace Education topics for several years to Civil Air Patrol Cadets (age 12-18). Also helped to start CAP Cadet Glider Orientation (GO!) Program for the state of Nevada, and taught Private Pilot ground school at a couple CAP glider flight academy events. I also helped to teach several adult learners (and a couple teenagers) how to build custom guitars from scratch.
