# Defying Gravity

Last week, we were extremely fortunate to have had a virtual meeting with Maria Vildavskaya, who is the chief operating office for Gravity Industries - a company that makes human jetpacks!

We used our knowledge from our 'Take Flight' project, our developed scientific enquiry and our questioning skills from our faculty sessions to pose questions to Maria. This helped further our understanding about her career, the company itself and the process of making the jet packs.

Our children asked some phenomenal questions and to quote Maria;
'Thank you so much for having me on today - fantastic questions and so so insightful! A real pleasure for me!'
