For Cody Floren, learning is about more than textbooks—it’s about understanding why things work and how ideas turn into reality. Currently a 10th grader at the West Valley Innovation Center, Cody is already taking meaningful steps toward his future through West Valley’s STEM Aerospace program in Yakima, Washington where students are building an airplane on campus through a partnership with CubCrafters, a local airplane manufacturer.
