 Aero prof helps 4-H soarSeventeen-year-old Azeem Ahmed recently coordinated
a monumental recognition for 4-H. With “We wanted people to know that 4-H isn’t just about agriculture,” says Azeem. “It offers many areas to explore, like science, technology, citizenship or engineering.” Azeem’s father connected him to astronaut Stephen Robinson because the two worked together at NASA’s Langley Research Center in 1992. Robinson helped Azeem coordinate the flag’s trip to space. When the shuttle returned home, the flag was taken to the national 4-H headquarters. Azeem is an Auburn freshman this fall. |

launched this summer and returned

idea to launch the flag with the space
shuttle to publicize his club.
