AeroEducate: Free Aviation-Based STEM Activities for K-12
Kevin Sutton; Laura Doyle; Sharon Bowers; Rebecca Jaramillo; Jeremy V. Ernst
Technology and Engineering Teacher, v82 n1 p22-26 Sep 2022
Although designed for informal educational structures and non-formal providers, the AeroEducate initiative offers youth in a variety of settings an initial exposure to the world of aviation and aeronautics. Real-world and context-based experiences spark learners' interests and may help them discover a personal and/or professional passion for the field. K-12 STEM Educators can easily implement one or more of the AeroEducate activities in their classroom teaching or after-school clubs. Each AeroEducate activity is strategically aligned with multiple standards for successful integration into formal educational settings. Through AeroEducate, the Experimental Aeronautics Association (EAA) provides quality resources for facilitators to build awareness and increase exposure and opportunities for youth. The collaboration between EAA, NC State, and the National Institute of Aerospace demonstrates how higher education and industry partners can and should work together to address STEM workforce needs.
