Students who are focused just on good academic grades are in for a big shock in 40 classrooms around New Zealand.
Teachers have spent this week at the Whenuapai air base doing practical things like planning and executing a search and rescue mission at sea.
They have met entrepreneurs, programmers, scientists and technologists who work in the air force.
Their classrooms will never be the same again.
