Educators Guide Our Future Stars

Pilot. Air Traffic Controller. Engineer. Safety Inspector. These are just a few of the careers that students can pursue in the world of aviation and aerospace — the sky is the limit! As educators, you can help guide their path to future aviation success. And the STEM Aviation and Space Education (AVSED) program is here to support you.

Check out our K-12 educational resources for information on grants and scholarships and examples of various aviation-themed lessons, which can serve as a guide and resource for educators and parents. These lessons and activities introduce students to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) using aviation-based topics.
