Aviation Education

This program promotes changing public perception through education by creating a public awareness of the need to promote the development and enhancement of education in aviation. It establishes a civil aviation information distribution program within each region. It also promotes safety in the skies through aviation education and creates career awareness in aviation at the elementary and secondary levels and prepares qualified individuals to meet the future needs of aviation. This program stimulates public and private sector initiative in meeting the American and worldwide competitive challenge in science and technology, and aids educators by providing aviation information they can readily use in their normal classroom curriculum or in special classroom projects, to improve communication skills and math, science, technology and computer literacy as it relates to aviation. The project aims at helping educators identify the learning needs of our society in this rapidly changing technological era.
