Aerospace Education Council
Florida Teachers and Engineers Connect

The University of Central Florida is starting an initiative to connect K-12 STEM teachers with engineers to further engineering education in and outside Florida classrooms. The goal is to establish a Web-based portal where teachers and engineers can connect. Teachers and engineers will profile their expertise and interests. Teachers would look for engineers to provide activities such as curriculum support, mentoring assistance, classroom visits, and field trip opportunities. Bill Yucuis, Aerospace teacher at Lyman High School in the Seminole County Institute for Engineering Magnet Program and Executive Vice President of AFA Central Florida Chapter 303, is one of the main catalysts for the program.
