The district launched a new program called Space Mechatronic.
Students at the school can now get hands-on experience by working with space-related technology and engineering.
“We have a gap in technicians and hands-on people right now, so this course is going to help fill some of the gaps,” said Titusville High School teacher April Balutowski.
