• Abstract:
  Building on 75 years of experience, the FAA’s aviation and space education outreach program is earning an A+ for encouraging elementary, secondary, and even college students to study math, science, technology, engineering, and a host of other disciplines. Dedicated to educating today’s youth about the aerospace career opportunities available to them, the program is reaching out to local communities across the nation, and sometimes even beyond our U.S. borders. Through aviation career education (ACE) academies, career day visits, internships, aviation expos, science fairs, educator workshops, guest lectures, and hands-on experience at FAA facilities, millions of children and young adults are learning about the myriad jobs available in the aerospace industry and the educational experience necessary to obtain and succeed at those jobs.
