Your exploration.
Your choice to share.

AltWing does not require an account, name, email address, or school name. It provides engineering exploration, browser projects, and source-linked program guidance.

What stays in your browser

Grade, state, optional GPA/SAT/ACT entries, interests, saved guidance, WingMatch decisions, project support preferences, written reflections, simulated test records, and submitted aerospace lab evidence are stored locally in this browser. They are not synced to an AltWing account or uploaded by the project-saving features.

Do not enter identifying or sensitive information in project reflections. You can learn without adding academic scores. Program suggestions are research leads; full eligibility needs checking with the official program.

Saving, exports, and data loss

Local storage is specific to the browser and website address. Another device, another browser, private browsing, clearing site data, or a different hosting address may not retain your work. If storage is blocked or full, a notice appears and recent changes can remain only in the current tab. Export your record before closing it.

Project exports download the work you choose to export to your device. Nothing is sent to a teacher, parent, counselor, or external service by the export action. You decide whether to share the file. You can remove saved progress through your browser's site-data settings; export anything you want to keep first.

Anonymous site statistics

AltWing stores anonymous navigation and learning milestone events in its own database. A random tab-session identifier rotates after 30 minutes of inactivity. Scores, grade, state, personal identity, answers, and written work are excluded. No third-party analytics or session replay is used. Aggregate statistics require owner sign-in. Old events are pruned after 90 days as new traffic arrives. Disable future collection at Privacy; browser Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control are respected.

External sources

College and program links open external websites with their own privacy practices. Source-check dates describe the catalog record, not a guarantee that a deadline or requirement remains current.

Current product boundaries

The matching beta uses rules rather than a trained aptitude model. Starter projects use simplified simulations, not physical measurements or verified achievements. Human mentoring, cloud accounts, and an autonomous opportunity-search service are not provided in this release.
