PREFLIGHT YOU CAN FLY
INSPIRATION IN ORLANDO
YOU CAN FLY SYMPOSIUM DRAWS TEACHERS PREPARING FUTURE PILOTS
ASTRONAUTS, FIGHTER PILOTS, AND AEROSPACE EXECUTIVES
primed about 500 teachers to continue growing the AOPA You
Can Fly High School STEM Curriculum, which has helped
more than 72,000 students get a leg up on aerospace careers.
The AOPA Foundation High School STEM Aviation Symposium
for 2023 was held in Orlando, Florida, November 12 through 14.
The event was created to provide classroom teachers and school
administrators with an opportunity to share best practices,
insights, and ideas for launching or building a STEM program
based on the free curriculum that the You Can Fly program
offers to participating schools.
AOPA Chief Operating Officer Elizabeth Tennyson welcomed
the educators to the three-day event that began with
a keynote expressing gratitude for the role they play in the
program's success.
" You are part of a nationwide movement to provide kids
with opportunities they never dreamed of-and some 72,000
students all across the country have already benefited from your
efforts, " Tennyson said.
" The curriculum is serving students in rural, suburban,
and urban areas; in every type of school and even home school
co-ops, " Tennyson said. " And you are impacting students from
every kind of ethnic, racial, and economic background. In fact, almost half the schools
in this program are Title 1 eligible. And the students using
the program are diverse-42 percent are students of color, numbers that look like the
country as a whole. "
" You might be surprised to learn that women make up only about 7 percent of the
licensed pilots in this country. But you can expect that to change, because 23 percent of
our students are young women, " Tennyson said.
Teachers participated in breakout sessions, tried out hands-on classroom exercises,
and had a little fun flying small drones indoors. Many of those who participated will
likely return when the next High School Aviation STEM Symposium is held in Atlanta,
another aerospace hotbed, in November 2024.
