49. THE Process Using aviation in “themed teaching” and hands-on activities including use of flight simulation programs, students want to learn more instead of asking the age-old question; “Why do I need to learn this?”

50. THE Process • Provides real-world examples of STEM (goes beyond just getting the answer…) • Reinforces and enriches subject area material taught in core classes • Primarily science and math, but integrates ALL core subject areas • Promotes critical thinking by presenting students with dilemmas • Not everything goes as planned…deal with it! • Exposes students to possible future career paths or vectors to higher education
