Aerospace Education
CAP
aerospace education programs help inform the public about air and space
matters. Over the past 30 years, CAP has supported about 4,000 aerospace
education workshops for teachers and education officials at more than 250
colleges and universities around the country. These programs have prepared
nearly 200,000 teachers to teach aerospace education courses in their schools
or to enrich the usual classroom subjects.

Other
important services offered include assistance in curriculum planning at
all levels and educational materials for use by teachers in their classrooms.
CAP's Center for Aerospace Education Development develops, publishes and
distributes materials to teachers. These materials range from pamphlets
and activity booklets to a complete high school elective course. They are
produced and sold at a cost far below commercially available products.
CAP
keeps in close contact with education departments at all levels and with
agencies such as the
Federal Aviation Administration,National
Aeronautics and Space Administration,National
Air and Space Museum,and the
Air Force
Association. These contacts promote and expand aerospace education
in the nation's schools. Also, the yearly scholarship funds to cadet and
senior members are provided. These funds help finance college studies in
engineering, the humanities, education, science and other fields relating
to air and space.
