What is AeroEducate?
AeroEducate is your launchpad into the exciting world of aviation! Created by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) alongside North Carolina State University and global partners, this program is all about bringing the wow of aviation to curious minds everywhere.
At the heart of AeroEducate is a series of virtual and hands-on aviation activities designed to spark curiosity and fuel ambition. As students dive in, they’ll explore everything from flight principles to aviation careers—all while earning digital badges that show off their achievements.
But AeroEducate isn’t just for students—it's a one-stop shop for teachers, parents, EAA chapters, and youth leaders to access tools that help inspire the next generation of aviators, engineers, astronauts, and innovators. AeroEducate offers ready-to-use, hands-on group activities to help youth explore aviation concepts through fun, engaging STEM lessons that spark curiosity and teamwork.
Our Mission
To open the skies to all youth by delivering inspiring aviation activities and experiences that spark passion, build confidence, and connect young dreamers to a vibrant aviation community.
Our Vision
A future where today’s youth become tomorrow’s aviation leaders.
Why EAA Created AeroEducate
In 2018, EAA saw the growing need to provide youth with a safe and fun way to learn and foster a passion for aviation. EAA also saw an industry demand for the next generation of pilots, engineers, and mechanics. With that small idea in mind, EAA started developing what is now known as AeroEducate. It has evolved to become an online tool that will cultivate the next leaders in aviation by supporting youth and their goals.
What is EAA?
The Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) is a growing and diverse organization of members with a wide range of aviation interests and backgrounds. Founded in 1953 by a group of individuals in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who were interested in building their own airplanes, EAA expanded its mission of growing participation in aviation to include antiques, classics, warbirds, aerobatic aircraft, ultralights, helicopters, and contemporary manufactured aircraft.
EAA is the only association that offers the fun and camaraderie of participating in the flying, building, and restoring of recreational aircraft with the most passionate community of aviation enthusiasts. Learn More
