By: STEMPilot “Our highly-innovative, mobile Edustations allows students the physical experience of flight simulation for all types of aircrafts while they apply STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics plus history, topography, geography, meteorology, and informational writing. They are learning all of this while they are fulfilling many of N.G.S.S. and Common Core’s educational standards.” Based in Waterbury, Connecticut, STEMPilot manufactures a variety of hands-on flight simulators that allow students in high, middle and elementary schools nationwide to apply STEM, and much more. “These mobile, in-classroom Edustations,” The Edustations emphasize project-based learning that help develop individual students’ problem-solving, collaborative and critical thinking abilities as they work in teams. Through pilot-focused flight simulators, students learn about potential careers in aerospace by exploring such topics as aeronautics, the aerospace environment, aerospace physiology, air navigation, and the physics and operations of aircraft.” LeBoff elaborates, “Not only are students learning through a unique first-hand, personal experience all the concepts of STEM, they are learning key professional skills that will allow them to rapidly enter future careers where STEM skills are needed. With these Edustations, thousands of students nationwide are currently learning the skills needed for a broad variety of current, and future aerospace professions from pilot to astronaut to aerospace engineer. Through STEMPilot’s rigorous curriculums and tutored missions, they are also learning life skills that are relevant in today’s and tomorrow’s worlds.” STEMPilot’s moblie Edustations cockpit flight simulators are designed to teach students STEM through aeronautics- Because a simulated flight plan requires problem-solving skills and data, plus thoughtful planning with identified outcomes, STEMPilot is helping to create skilled, accomplished young students. By installing Edustations in classrooms nationwide, school systems are providing students with exceptional, and extra-ordinary, hands-on math and science learning opportunities.” In October of 2015, STEMPilot’s Edustations were installed in the newly-created $2.1M John Wallace Middle School’s Academy of Aerospace and Engineering in Newington, Connecticut. It is the first middle school in the state to offer a dedicated STEM facility for students who are selected via a lottery to enter the Academy’s program. Currently there is a waiting list of students who want to enroll. In California during 2015, STEMPilot Edustations were installed in schools that included Sun Valley Magnet Middle School and East Valley High School in Los Angeles. The Edustations received accolades and very positive responses from teachers at the CASTA Conference in Sacramento and California Science Teachers’ Association Conference in Long Beach. In Texas, high schools, middle schools and elementary schools statewide have installed Edustations, and the STEM Edustations were well received at the Texas Science and Teachers Conference CAST in Fort Worth. In Florida during 2015, 52 Edustations, and ‘sit in cockpit’ flight simulators, were installed in high and middle schools in Pasco, Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties. The Edustations also drew positive accolades from teachers during the 2015 Massachusetts Teachers Conference. In New York City in 2015, students were known to line up to experience STEM Pilot’s Edustations in six high schools and ten middle schools. The nearly-100-year- “STEMPilot’ The first group of designated ‘captains’ LeBoff clarifies, “Teachers who use the Edustations do not need any aviation experience. Written with assistance from certified pilots, the teaching curriculum is specially-designed for the non-aviation- To learn more about STEMPilot’s Edustations, visit www.STEMPILOT.com, or contact Jocelyn Virzi at Jocelyn@stempilot.com, or call 203-527-5747.
