STEM

Science,Technology, Engineering, and Math, STEM for short, is a major part of Civil Air Patrol's cadet and aerospace program. Squadrons participate by using STEM kits and training material to provide hands-on, interactive lessons for cadets to prepare them for future careers in these fields.

Local squadrons offer support to local schools and Aerospace Education Members who opt to use STEM kits in their classrooms.

There are currently 14 different STEM kits available free to Aerospace Education Officers and educators enrolled in the program. These benefit non-conventional and other educational programs such as Boy Scouts of America and youth groups. If you are a teacher or educational leader and are interested in becoming an Aerospace Education Member, contact your local squadron for more information.
