Aryanna Llanez, Lead Engineer - Atomic Aggies
The “smoke and fire,” noise, high speeds, and sleek aerodynamics of rocketry encourage students to pursue science, technology, and mathematics-based careers. They have “Rocket Fever!”, and competition motivates them to extend themselves beyond the classroom to design and build the rockets themselves. These students also learn to work as a team, solving real world problems under the same pressures they’ll experience in their future careers. Today, we will be bringing our competition rocket from last year. It sits at almost 12 feet tall, reaches over 10,000 ft. altitude and was built here by students at NMSU with raw Carbon Fiber and Fiber Glass composites.

Digital Accessibility, ADA Title II, and Section 504 technology, web and app accessibility: Is your organization compliant? Title II is the regulation of the DOJ that implements ADA, relating to nondiscrimination on the basis of disability in State and local government services. Section 504 is a federal law designed to protect the rights of individuals with disabilities in programs and activities that receive Federal financial assistance from the U.S. Department of Education. Section 504 provides: “No otherwise qualified individual with a disability in the United States shall… solely by reason of her or his disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance…” This presentation will help you to determine if your organization complies with these two directives.

In February of 2022 NMSU jumped in to the metaverse with our inclusion in the Meta10, a grant program from Meta through VictoryXR that created the NMSU Metaversity. The Meta10 grant approached 10 NCAA division one schools with the offer to build a digital twin campus (otherwise known as a Metaversity) for each school in the metaverse. This presentation will explore what a Metaversity is, its use in education and the future possibilities. We will discuss VR here at NMSU, how VR has been used and touch on the future of AR/VR at NMSU.
