Flight training company Redbird Flight Simulations will hold a STEM Lab at Booth 304 at EAA AirVenture 2017 from July 24 to 29 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The lab, led by CEO of Aspen Aerospace Alliance Greg Roark, focuses on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in aviation. The goal is to show students how hands-on training can be fun while showing teachers and administrators how to start their own aviation STEM program in school.

“It is exciting to create the STEM Lab and expose students and teachers to our simulators while they learn,” said Redbird COO and president Charlie Gregoire. “Redbird Flight Simulations, as well as many aviation companies, is committed to promoting STEM education and investing in our next generation of aerospace leaders.”

Redbird designed 13 different classes that range from introduction to flight and aviation to weather topics and instrument flying. These courses, which are free to AirVenture attendees, will also feature Jay Velocity flight simulators. Classes will be streamed online for those students who cannot attend in person. However, students in attendance will receive a Redbird giveaway.
