EAA AeroEducate program adds three new content providers

EAA AVIATION CENTER, OSHKOSH, Wisconsin — (August 13, 2024) — AeroEducate, EAA’s free online education program, has added three collaborators to its list of educational content providers. This partnership aims to tackle an ever-growing need for aviation education and interactive programming for young people.

AeroEducate launched in 2022 as a free aviation education program created by EAA in cooperation with North Carolina State University and in partnership with other companies and organizations around the world. The program offers unique content for grades K-12 and utilizes a badging system to track individual progress as each elemental area and grade level is completed. Parents and teachers can also create accounts to gain access to a catalog of STEM-aligned, hands-on, group enrichment activities that further encourage youth of all ages to explore the many wonderful opportunities available within aviation.

“As we add content providers to AeroEducate, it not only provides for a more robust offering for youth, parents, teachers and youth group leaders who have a passion for aviation, but also encourages other organizations and companies to join us in inspiring the future of aviation,” said Paul Maloy, EAA Director of Education. “Each provider specializes in a different, unique aspect of aviation education, allowing for more ‘well-rounded’ and innovative programming.”

The Aircraft Electronics Association (AEA) has partnered with EAA to help develop avionics activities for all grade levels. The AEA represents 1,300 member companies that specialize in all parts of the aircraft electronics space for general aviation aircraft including manufacturing, maintenance, and installation.

PlaneEnglish Interactive Training Solutions has worked to provide automated and AI-assisted pilot communications activities for all levels of the student self-exploratory area of AeroEducate. PlaneEnglish develops innovative tools to help pilots maximize their training. Their interactive training solutions are designed to help communications, cockpit familiarization, procedures and flow training. 

SafeLaunch is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that uses aviation to educate youth about the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse. SafeLaunch provided content for the teacher resource dashboard as well as all grade levels that focuses on the importance of avoiding addictive substances to maintain peak brain health.

EAA’s AeroEducate program was created to engage, inspire, and empower youth to achieve their dreams through exciting opportunities in aviation and aerospace, and encourage the industry leaders of tomorrow. More information can be found at AeroEducate.org.
