EnCorps Teacher Julian Lewis not only connects his students to real applications of math and science in his aerospace engineering classroom, he inspired one student to pursue an education at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, just like he did. A former Lockheed Martin aerospace engineer of 34 years, Lewis grew up in the South Bronx and was inspired by an eighth grade teacher who was a pilot. He says that the satisfaction of working on amazing aircraft equals the satisfaction he gets from watching his students become engaged in aerospace. “At the end of the day, what’s going to be your legacy? What have you impacted? As I share my experience, they are realizing I too can do that. They will be better individuals because I am here.” <Watch the video>
