  7. Aerospace Education Partnerships AE actively working with 5 partners on CAP’s list of 19 • AF STEM Outreach Office • Air Force Association (AFA) • Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) • Space Exploration Educators’ Conference (SEEC) • Women in Aviation (WAI) International Also working with National Association of Rocketry (NAR), 4-H, Boy and Girl Scouts, Homeschool Associations, and FAA AVSED

  8. Aerospace Education AE Challenge • Recruit AEMs and participate in AEX • Began October 1, 2018 • Finished June 30, 2019 • Outstanding efforts by most wings • Results announced tomorrow at general assembly • Began with 3882 AEMs; ended with 6368 (64% increase)

  9. Aerospace Education Mission • Promote AE, aviation, space, cyber & STEM • CAP members & the general public • Members – cadets & adults • General Public – schools, teachers & organizations Why? • Cooperative Agreement with Air Force -AE - Internal, external and education/training More

  10. Aerospace Education • America - world leader in economy and national defense • America needs STEM workers • Since 1990, STEM jobs have almost doubled; 9.7 million to 17.3 million • End 2018 – 2.4 million STEM jobs unfilled • Projected next 10 years to grow by 13%; opposed to 9% non STEM • STEM pays more – BA - $20,000 more; MA - $25,000 more; PhD - $30,000 more • U.S. – 38/71 countries in math; 24th in science • Only 36% of high school grads are ready to college-level science classes • CAP has a part to play – provide products & programs to excite cadets/kids about possible STEM careers

  11. Aerospace Education Governed By Federal Law Board of Governors AF Cooperative Agreement • AE Mission -AE Regulation --CAPR 50-1, CAP AE Mission -AE Pamphlets --CAPP 50-1, AEO Handbook --CAPP 50-2, AE Specialty Track Study Guide

  12. Aerospace Education HOW? • 40 curricula products • K-12 & beyond • National Educational Standards • Hands-on activities • AE & STEM career emphasis

  13. Aerospace Education New AE Products In progress • WIA II • Cyber module • Journey of Flight (4th ed) Upcoming 2020 • Aerospace Dimensions (4th ed) • Tuskegee Airmen

  14. Aerospace Education AE Programs • Aerospace Connections in Education (ACE) • Aerospace Education Members (AEMs) • Aerospace Education Excellence (AEX) • Teacher Orientation Program (TOP) Flights • STEM Kit program

  15. Aerospace Education Aerospace Connections in Education (ACE) • K-6 program • 21 grade-specific lesson plans • Covers academics, character education & physical fitness revolving around AE theme • School Year 2018 - 51,170 students, 344 schools, 920 teachers, 47 states, plus PR, Europe & Japan • Great introduction to CAP and AE • Great precursor for cadet programs

  16.
