Aerospace Education

CAP’s aerospace education efforts focus on two different audiences: volunteer CAP members and the general public.

The programs ensure that all CAP members (adults and cadets) have an appreciation for and knowledge of aerospace issues. To advance within the organization, members are required to participate in the educational program. Aerospace educators at AP’s National Headquarters at Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala., provide current materials that reflect the highest standards of educational excellence.

CAP’s external aerospace programs are conducted through our nation’s educational system. Each year, CAP sponsors more than 100 workshops in colleges and universities across the nation, reaching more than 3,000 educators and hundreds of thousands of young people. These workshops highlight basic aerospace knowledge and focus on advances in aerospace technology. CAP’s aerospace education members receive more than 33 free teaching aids, as well as lesson plans and other classroom materials.

CAP’s unpaid volunteers take the lead in providing aerospace education to other members and to the general public. If you are an educator, or perhaps enjoy hands-on activities or demonstrations, consider joining CAP’s aerospace education program.
