At the annual AOPA Foundation High School Aviation STEM Symposium, Redbird Flight (Redbird) today announced the addition of 25 new flight simulator lessons designed to supplement the 10th- and 11th-grade course material in the AOPA High School Aviation STEM Curriculum.
At the 2022 Redbird Migration flight training conference, Redbird Flight (Redbird) announced the release of a new flight simulation supplement for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association’s (AOPA) High School STEM Curriculum. The simulator supplement integrates seamlessly with AOPA’s curriculum, building upon its preexisting hands-on exercises with engaging flight simulator lessons that allow students to broaden the exploration and application of their knowledge and skills.
The online series will engage and inspire students’ interests in aviation as classrooms remain closed during the coronavirus outbreak.
Amid school closures caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Redbird Flight Simulations is launching an online series of the Redbird STEM Lab, the company’s popular, interactive classes for students in middle school and high school. Beginning on March 31st, Redbird’s STEM Director Greg Roark will lead students through six virtual classes aimed at engaging their creativity and continuing to foster their interests in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) outside the classroom.
All students in grades 5-12 are welcome to attend classes and fly the simulators
Austin, TX (June 6, 2018) – Another installment of the Redbird STEM Lab will take place June 15-16 during the AOPA Fly-In in Missoula, Montana. Open to all students in grades 5-12, the STEM lab will utilize Jay Velocity flight simulators to integrate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) into aviation-themed classes. Redbird again has teamed up with Greg Roark, CEO of Aspen Aerospace Alliance, to instruct the classes.
Aviation-themed, youth outreach initiative enhances program with Redbird FMX simulator.
Austin, TX (January 8, 2018) – Supporting the growth of its innovative, aviation-based, youth outreach program, the Bob Hoover Academy (BHA) and Redbird Flight Simulations have partnered to integrate flight simulation into its curriculum.
Based in Salinas, California, which retains one of the state’s highest, youth homicide rates, BHA utilizes flight training to engage local, at-risk teens in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. Since 2017, and for several years prior under the moniker, Every Kid Can Fly, the academy has executed a full ground training curriculum and flight training program with a single instructor and airplane. With a full-motion, Redbird FMX simulator in its facility, BHA now enables students to hone their skills even when they are apart from their aircraft and instructor.
