Aerospace Education

Civil Air Patrol fosters aerospace and STEM education in both the local units and the community. This is accomplished in many ways:

• Our cadet program where youth participate in free orientation flights on Civil Air Patrol Cessna's; aerospace education activities in the squadron such as model rocketry, aircraft studies, weather patterns and more; required curriculum that cadets study and test on for promotions; STEM classes with content ranging from robotics and engineering to cyber security and technology.
• Adult members study and teach aerospace and STEM; earn the Yeagar Aerospace Award through study of quality curriculum; serve as pilots for cadet and teacher orientation flights; serve on mission aircrew.
• Community outreach such as holding classes in schools and at local libraries and events, supporting teachers and youth leaders, both Civil Air Patrol Aerospace Education members and those who simply need assistance in their classroom or program.
