Youth STEM Soaring Academy
Aviation is a powerful way to inspire youth interest in STEM by connecting classroom learning with real-world experiences. Through glider flight, students explore the practical applications of math, science, technology. They also gain experience of working together as a team.
TTSA’s Youth STEM Soaring Academy programs help introduce students to aviation and STEM career pathways, inspiring the next generation of pilots, engineers, scientists, and innovators. Designed for junior high and high school students, our programs provide unique opportunities to learn, explore, and experience the excitement of soaring.
