[MIDS] 🚀 STAAR 2024 has launched!   👋 A huge welcome to our Week 1 group! #STAAR2024

Hello, we are here with the STAAR Team to learn about subjects like AI and how it is able to separate and sort images from their sources. This morning, we piled up images of fighter jets & commercial aircraft & told AI to categorise the images properly to see how accurate it was.

#STAARtakeover: We were given the mission to use drones to map out "Cosfordia", an area that was affected by an earthquake. We had to find a way to help the people escape without using any helicopters… We had lots of fun driving the drones! 🎮

[MIDS] Our STAAR students aced the Digital Combat Simulator and met with some frequent fliers in the world of aeronautical engineering today! ✈️🔧   Thanks to @raf_cosford for behind the scenes access to DCS and AeroThermal Labs! #STAAR2024

[MIDS] Our STAAR students are donning their proverbial overalls today as they hang out at Mechanical Training Squadron RAF Cosford! 🧰🔧✈️#STAAR2024

#STAARtakeover: Posed with Shobha Earl, the first Asian female Warrant Officer, before looking around the Cold War Exhibition and training a neural network - STAAR is the best!

#STAARtakeover: In drone school we had to compile a mission report detailing the RAF’s humanitarian response plan to an extremely large earthquake that had taken place in the mountainous region of Cosfordia!
