The Institute was awarded the 2013 Aviation Achievement Award by the Kentucky Aviation Hall of Fame. IAE Standards On-site Facilitator and IAE Summer Institute FAA Ground School Each school must have an on-site facilitator. Teacher facilitators participate in a two-day aerospace workshop in June. Students are enrolled in an aviation course of study which results in passing of the FAA Private Pilot Written Exam. This certification will help with Career and College Readiness. Build A Plane Member This non profit organization finds real aircraft for schools and other education organizations. This service is free at www.buildaplane.org Flight Simulation Engineering Projects Students are provided a flight simulator and flight controls to simulate a flight training environment. Student engineering teams participate in two projects: The Real World Design Challenge and the Wing Design Challenge. These projects are sponsored by NASA KY and UK College of Engineering. Airport Collaboration Work with local airport to develop ways for students to connect to aviation community in areas of flight, aircraft maintenance, aeronautical engineering and other aviation careers. SkillsUSA Aviation Challenge Network schools will send a team of four students to participate in a statewide aviation competition. Students will take an aeronautical knowledge test, preflight of aircraft, cross country flight plan, aircraft recognition, and flight simulation. This contest is in late February Wing Design Competition WDC Teams from network schools will meet to demonstrate their solution to an aeronautical engineering problem. Awards will be provided after the event has completed. This event is scheduled in May. Young Eagles (EAA) Students will participate in EAA s Young Eagle program. In Young Eagles, students from ages 8 17 are provided free orientation flights. The website is www.youngeagles.org Special Electives from Post Secondary Partners Schools will provide qualified students access to special aerospace courses that will complete seven career pathways. These courses are being developed by our postsecondary partners and will be offered online. 10
Research Study Preliminary Data Shows Over 600 students in 2013 14 Almost 200% growth in 4 years in participating school districts 50% of our students are in poverty 100% graduation 17% higher than state average on ACT Average ACT score meets college readiness benchmarks in math and science 75% of students pursue STEM field after high school. 25% in aerospace.
