Our Aviation Focused STEM Education Program is designed for middle school and high school students ages 11-18 (grades 6-12) who have expressed an interest in aviation and other STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) related topics. To be successful and have fun in this course, your child should be currently enrolled in a public, charter or private school, or otherwise engaged in a homeschool curriculum, and doing well academically. The course is designed for students who have demonstrated an aptitude for independent learning and above-average social and intellectual maturity for their grade level.
Students who successfully complete the course will have the opportunity to learn valuable life skills that align with those of a competent and safety conscious pilot:
- Personal Responsibility (Pilot In Command Authority)
- Logic and Reasoning (Aeronautical Decision Making)
- Resource Management and Teamwork (Single Pilot Resource Management)
- Discipline and Attention To Detail (Checklist Usage)
- Self Confidence (First Solo Flight, Practical Test)
- Respect (For Others and For The Airplane)
Our custom designed curriculum will utilize free, industry accepted materials. Students will work on projects as a team and learn valuable reasoning, problem solving and decision making skills that can be applied to anything they do in life – especially if they decide to become a pilot! All activities are ground based and will be conducted at our facility, in our classroom or aircraft hangar, but parents will have the option of purchasing flight lessons for their children to enhance what they learn during the course.
