AEROSPACE EDUCATION
100 aerospace education workshops each year Aerospace classroom materials, grades K through college.
Nation’s premier annual aerospace education conference AE program touches more than 900 teachers per year.

The Civil Air Patrol is offering a very popular program free to its members that involves doing hands-on aviation and space-related activities with students.  It is called AEX, and the acronym stands for  “Aerospace Education Excellence." 

Participants receive full-color books that feature national standards-based aerospace hands-on activities.  The requirements are simple: complete six aerospace activities and one two-hour or longer field experience (space day, trip to the airport or museum, etc.) to earn a beautiful wooden plaque plus color certificates for your students.  The activities are designed to fit into any curriculum. Schools' state-approved curriculum may replace or supplement the AEX activities created for this program.
