STEM Kit Library
Introduction:
The Civil Air Patrol’s STEM Kit program provides STEM resources for hands-on, inquiry-based learning. The STEM Kit program has been providing a selection of STEM Kits to CAP Unit Aerospace Education Officers (AEOs) and CAP educator members since January, 2013, to educate the next generation STEM workforce. Squadron 156 has many STEM Kits that have been provided by NHQ and that have been used to delivery quality, hands-on STEM activities during our AE training.
Items in our STEM Kit library are also available for our members and for other squadrons to use for many purposes such as:
- Self-driven learning (learn at home)
- External Aerospace Education activities (such as science fairs, school visits and airport open-houses)
- Training preparation
