Across the country, communities are rallying support to focus on student success in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education. The Centers of Inspiration provide a holistic approach to inspiring student interest and engaging them in order to keep them challenged and excited about pursing STEM curriculum. The A.I.R. program takes place onboard Ambition, located on the grounds of the National Naval Aviation museum in Pensacola, Florida. For multiple days, 8th - 11th graders compete against each other in engaging and intense real-life scenarios that combine the thrill of flight with critical thinking techniques.
Following an action-packed week, the Ambition Experimental Pilots' squadron Commanders, Captain, and Admiral will host a graduation ceremony to celebrate the AEPs' major accomplishments. The ceremony will include awards, trophies, personal recognition, and inspiring activities surrounding this exciting accomplishment. Space is limited, help us share and register a young adult today!
