The Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) team has been working diligently to immerse themselves into the world of flight. Our team has visited the National AMA Headquarters here in Muncie several times this semester\u2014taking in the rich history of aviation and the hobby. We met with the historians, educators, and many other staff throughout the fall to generate a project to benefit the local and national community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a collegiate group, our team took advantage of the thousands of students around them at Ball State University to dive into the reasons we chose hobbies. In their research, they found just how important hobbies are with educational and degree paths. This information has helped the group understand who the members of AMA are, and who their future members could be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before they head off to their winter breaks, they are excited to launch their project developments in the spring. Our team has split into three main projects: social media management, local event planning, and gamification. With only a semester left, it\u2019s a massive undertaking to pursue all three, but that won\u2019t stop these incredible students. We look forward to showing you all the hard work that has gone into these projects in May\u2014until then, sit back, relax, and enjoy our flight! \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
