AviationEd, Manassas

Many kids grow up with a love for jumbo jets, fighter planes, and helicopters. AviationEd taps into this youthful fascination, and offers programs for youngsters that might lead them to STEM-inspired aviation careers. AviationEd specifically targets kids in underserved and low-income communities, where aviation career possibilities are rarely pursued. Its staff sets up camps, workshops, and other programs at schools and offsite locations, where kids can stoke their imagination through hands-on experiments and projects.
