Aerospace Education

US combat operations share a common element—the use of technology to gain an advantage in deterring conflict, and when necessary, in decisively winning the conflict. This capability is the product of an education infrastructure that has cultivated researchers, innovators, engineers, operators, and maintenance personnel who are capable of designing, developing, testing, operating, and supporting these technologies. As we look to the future, it is clear there will be demand for an even higher level of education and an increasing percentage of individuals with skills in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). This web site provides resources on aerospace education and STEM for teachers and the latest articles covering this important subject.

"The Air Force Association provides venues and resources to help educate our members and the public at large as to the capability of Airpower and what Airmen and technology contribute to our national security and the betterment of mankind."
