This week’s mentoring hour took a new direction as our students stepped away from routine activities and immersed themselves in hands-on learning. Instead of focusing on discussions or debates, we decided to channel the time into something more practical, creative, and directly related to our field of Aeronautical Engineering.

The session was carefully thought out and planned in advance. Students were divided into 11 teams, and each team began working on specific tasks that pushed them to apply their classroom knowledge in real-world problem-solving. The goal was to build and experiment with designs that reflect both teamwork and technical understanding.

Though the details of the project will be revealed in a dedicated blog after completion, what can be shared now is that this exercise revolved around exploring different types of glider models. This initiative not only made the mentoring hour more engaging but also gave students a taste of experiential learning—bridging the gap between theory and practice.

🌟 Key Takeaways from the Session:

• A refreshing approach to mentoring hour with hands-on work.

• Enhanced teamwork by splitting into 11 groups.

• A first step toward a bigger project that will be unveiled soon.

This mentoring hour reminded us that innovation often begins with small steps taken together. We look forward to sharing the complete project story once it reaches its final stage.
