Success Stories

Excellent, so good that it felt almost weird (in a good way) that such timely and sincere communication was coming from an educational curriculum entity. I won't say I have had bad experiences with other companies, but I felt like I didn't have to work for getting an answer or assistance and really the response time to e-mail inquiries etc. has to be among the best in the industry

Tech Teacher

"For the past decade, it has been my mission to find unique and exciting STEM programs for the students in our district.  Although we have participated in many, none compare to the curriculum that Milestone C offers. 

Milestone C curricula are much more than just fun and exciting STEM programs. The problem-solving, critical thinking and team-building delivery of instruction provides students with the qualities that all universities and employers are seeking in a high-quality candidate. 

The experiences students gain after completing any one of Milestone C courses, will not only prepare them for a future career in a STEM field, but, more importantly, for life."

Tina Henckel
Director of STEM

"I was inspired by the amount of growth I saw in each of the students, and I am confident that the skills these students learned will be valuable in their future education and careers.  I encourage every student who has an interest in engineering or aviation to sign up!"

Elizabeth Snape
Science Department Chair

“Milestone C courses are a wonderful opportunity for students to experience hands-on STEM learning in a project-based learning environment.  Additionally, students receive exposure to various engineering and aviation career opportunities.”

Victoria White
Supervisor of Professional Learning

"Milestone C is not just an engineering and aviation program, it is much more than that. It's setup to inspire young individuals. In the beginning, I was a bit skeptical about engineering careers, but now I am looking into the engineering aspect of healthcare. Thank you for thinking that I have a lot of potential in this career. I am going to have to rewrite my life plan, and this time include biomedical engineering. :-) Thank you is not enough!"

Gabrielle

"I honestly loved this program. It has definitely helped me and has the potential of helping many others. It's fun and engaging, you meet lots of great people and learn useful skills that you WILL use in real life, in addition to gaining valuable hands-on experience. Even the lectures are miles better and more interesting than any I've had in school before."

Narmer

"What a great way to gain group skills and knowledge of aviation and engineering! When [a guest speaker] spoke about her job in biomedical engineering, I found it very interesting. I would like to work in that field!"

Clarissa

"Choosing a specific part of the program as my favorite is not possible for me. From the science behind flight to the leadership & team-building simulation, to creating drones from nothing and flying them, I loved all of it! Milestone C is a great hands-on experience for those who have an interest in engineering and flight. It is also a great way to experience engineering and see what fields would be best for our futures. Also, great instructors! You guys really nailed it with this program. I really appreciate everything you have done for me and hope to be a part of the program in the future."

Arthur

"I have no suggestions on how this program could be improved. It's very technology-based and hands-on. You have got to cooperate with your teammates to make sure everything gets done -- and it's really a lot of fun!"

Matthew

"It was an excellent program -- best possible way to understand what real engineering work is like."

Alex

"Learning why planes fly, building drones... Great overall experience!"

Donald

"A fun and great learning experience about aviation, engineering, and much more!"

Hassun

"A program to expand your intellectual boundaries, and a learning experience for all. Thank you for keeping the program different, challenging, and interesting."

Matthew

"Thank you for instilling confidence, professionalism and creativity in my son. During the oral presentation I was able to see a side of him that I never knew existed as he spoke with confidence and a clear message he enjoyed the program."

Jennifer

"Innovative with freedom. Students loved the freedom to create but respected the guidelines. I was also surprised with the self confidence and public speaking that was instilled in my son. It was like listening and watching another boy rather than my own. I was so proud."

Jennifer

“A great program!  Thank you for all your hard work, time and energy allowing these young men and women to be independent thinkers and engineers!  My son had an amazing experience and he was always enthusiastic to talk about what he did to the culminating project allowing them to build drones from the ground up!  Make sure the programs continue, these are our future engineers!”

Kelly

"An investment into my child's future! Thanks to this program [my daughter] not only gained hands-on experience, but also learned valuable life skills such as leadership, communication, and exploration of different fields. This experience taught her that there are many skills that can be applicable in various ways in a multitude of careers, which is an invaluable tool in life."
