Aerospace Education
CAP promotes and supports aerospace education,
both to its own members and the general public. CAP
educational programs help prepare American citizens
to meet the challenges of a sophisticated aerospace
society and understand its related issues. To fulfill the
CAP mission of educating America’s citizens about
the importance of air and space power for our
country, CAP offers a myriad of aerospace programs,
products, and services to educators and aerospace
enthusiasts.
CAP maintains integrated internal and external aerospace education programs. Internally, CAP members, both adults and cadets, follow a rigorous program to learn about aviation and aerospace principles. Aerospace Education Officers (AEOs) attend regional AEO workshops to learn how to promote aerospace ducation throughout their communities. CAP cadets have to pass aerospace tests and
achievements to progress in rank and promotion. Externally, CAP reaches out to the general public through a special program for teachers of all grade levels. Through this program, CAP provides free classroom materials and lesson plans for aerospace education. CAP
offers national standards-based educational products, including textbooks, workbooks, and hands-on activity booklets. Teachers can get free classroom materials and lesson plans, awards programs, and opportunities to participate in workshops and the Fly-ATeacher program by joining as a CAP Aerospace Education Member (AEM).
