Symposium set for November
Opportunity for educators to learn about the AOPA STEM curriculum
Each year the AOPA Foundation High School Aviation STEM Symposium brings dedicated educators from around the country for two days of sharing insights, ideas, and best practices for starting and building aviation STEM programs in schools.
The annual symposium will be held November 12 through 14 at the Hyatt Regency in Orlando, Florida. This is the only high school symposium in the nation that specifically targets aviation and aerospace content.
Pilots, drone operators, aerospace engineers, scientists, technologists, and technicians will always be in demand. Despite the impact of the pandemic, forecasts continue to project shortfalls over the next 20 years as a result of an aging workforce. The AOPA Foundation High School Aviation STEM Symposium is an opportunity for educators and administrators to discover how they can prepare students for success in these exciting and well-paying careers.
The AOPA Foundation High School Aviation STEM Symposium is the chance to get to know the leaders in the field. Our speakers come with a wealth of experience in education, aviation, aerospace, and more. They will share lessons learned and provide fresh ideas for educators to take back to their classrooms. Breakout sessions are designed to help educators get the most out of the experience, whether your school is interested in starting an aviation program, adding aviation content to STEM classes, or enhancing an existing aviation initiative. More than 400 schools across the country are currently using the AOPA STEM curriculum.
Learn from the experts in aviation education. Join AOPA for two full days of breakout sessions, industry tours, and networking opportunities you will not want to miss.
