Question
Request for assistance.

The NYDT, based in Pretoria, South Africa, does career path development in schools in Southern Africa. We are in a process of designing an EduTraining Course for Aviation and Space Science Olympics and Olympiad for July 11 to 15, 2005. It focuses on Inner- and Outer Atmospheric flight. We want to design a credible and authoritative curriculum with content that will give a respectable qualification to students from grade 7 to 12. We need academics who can assist us with the design of 60 questions for the aviation and Space Science Olympiad. Focus sections are 1. Mathematics, 2. Chemistry, 3. Physics, 4. Biology,  5. Economics, and 6. Informatics. We work closely with our National Department of Education and the South African AirForce. Your advice and assistance in this regard will be appreciated.
