Aeronautical STEM Unit

“My story began with paper airplanes. Trying to make them fly better sparked an interest in learning why airplanes fly and ignited a curiosity to learn. In the years since the same curiosity led to my setting four Guinness World Records for paper airplanes and a career as an aeronautical engineer. This is why I am such an avid supporter of the Aeronautical STEM Kit and curriculum.”

“The Aeronautical STEM Kit utilizes the intrinsic fascination and excitement kids have with flight to creatively teach applied math and science through a progression of hands-on and project-based lessons. Having provided physics in-servicing to numerous elementary teachers over the years, I found overwhelming support for the kit format of containment for experimental activities. As an entire suite of lessons and activities, the Aeronautical STEM Kit represents the best of so many ideas!”

“Aviation strongly motivates students in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and was the driving force to develop these learning experiences. We appreciate Pitsco, Inc. for making this kit available to students worldwide.”
